TRADE TREATY

Crawford On House Floor
Bucks Negotiation For
Reciprocal Pact

MENTIONS JAPAN

Empire Will Be Future
Guardian Of Islands,
He Asserts

Washington, Feb. 17 (AP). — Rep-
resentative Fred L. Crawford, Re-
publican of Michigan, arose in the
House today to oppose negotiation
of a reciprocal trade agreement
with the Philippines.

The Michigan legislator called
attention to the arrival here of
President Manu el L. Quezon, of the
Philippine Co mrao n wjjtrlth and as-
serted that the chief executive of
the Islands is seeking a trade pact.
He declared that Congress Should
decide its policy toward the Philip-
pines.

Rep. Crawford asserted <f Japan
lias made it clear to the thinking
world that sh6 will in the future be
the guardian of the Philippines. If
we are to concede to Japan guar-
dianship over the Islands as soon as
independence is granted, let us pro-
ceed on such a basis, working out
our economic and political relations
with the Filipinos.

CITES SUGAR SUBSIDY
“Why should wc be entangled in
a set ‘of policies which wc cannot
support when Japan really says ‘il
no reciprocal agreements are made
with Japan then why arc they inudc
with the Philippines V ”

Rep. Crawford contended that t lie
sugar tariff “subsidy” granted the
Philippines would completely pro-
vide for the total investments in
Philippine sugar factories and in
six year would cover the entire in-
vestment iu centrals, lands, crop
loans and investments by Filipinos.

IP said that the subsidy* amounts
to $43,400,000 annually in addition
to the United states losses of from
*18,000,000 to $30,000,000 in reve-
nue because the Philippine sugar
comes in duty tree.

SKF TAX ON SUGAR
Secretary of Agriculture Jlenry
A. Wallace said today that the
President will send to Congress j
within the next week or two a
message advocating a processing
tax on sugar. Wallace told news-
pa penile n that lie had diHe«SHcd
sugar legislation at the V lute
House, in January W allace ad-
vocated the reenactment of a sugar
processing tax of one-half cent or
one cent per pou ,l4 _

AiOl

Some people think the President’
wasn’t being kind wheiC asked
about the newly appointed high
commissioner, he

wanted to know
whether Mr. Mc-
Nutt wan a scho-
lar.

Our feeling Is
that the Presid-
ent didn’t Intend
to be anything
in so asking. Ifa
is possible that
suddenly faced
by his absolute
lack of knowledge about the man,
and possibly remembering subscon-
aclously that Indiana Is considered
something of a hick state, ho
thought he could thus ward * off
an awkward pause in an uaexpce*-
ed moment.

Indiana figures so little in thn
newt* such as wlmt manages to fil-
ter out of the purely American
frontiers that it doesn't become
easy immediately to visualise any-
thing that conies from it in the
proper perspective,
i Of course, when yon com© to
think of it in earnest, Indiana if*

! not without ifc3 place in the Infel-
I lectual map of the United States

• It has given us James Whltoome
; Riley, Meredith Nicholson, Booth

Tarklngton, George Ade, George
and Eggleson among others.

Coming nearer home, we have
only to think of Judvr Pratrelaco

* 71 el r& do Judge Mariano it. de

and Dr. Jorge C. Bocobo, In-
tellectual luminaries ail, in order
to develop a new reverence for
the millieu which has produced a
McNutt

You can see now, therefore that
the President knew he w'as asking
& simple rhetorical question when
| he expressed a curiosity about Mr.

! McNutffe scholarly attainment©. It
was enough with him, and so
| with us all, that Governor Morphy
i had endorsed the appointment of
' the new high commissioner.

Consider further the gratifying
' fact that the first statement of
importance from Mr. McNutt fol-
lowing the announcement of his
appointment was as an express ap-
proval of our national defense
plan. If anything, that approval
should Immediately bridge a close
understanding between the Pres-
ident and the high commissioner.

Quezon Wants

P. 1. Included In
Benefit Plan

Washington, March 1 (UP). — >
President Manuel L. Quezon of the
Philippines told the United Press
tonight lie would make “every ef- j
fort” to have the Philippines in-
cluded in the benefit payment’s
envisaged in President Franklin D.
Roosevelt’^ proposal to continue
tlie sugar quota system with inclu-
sion of an excise tax.

“I am perfectly satisfied with
the provisions continuing sugar
quotas,” he said. “But 1 will do
my utmost to include the Philip-
pines growers.”

An official of the department of
agriculture said the Philippines
sugar industry is not included in
President Roosevelt’s plan to pay
benefits from the $100,000,000 an-
nual fund which he estimated the
excise levy would build.

Quezon Will
Change Ships
At Honolulu

By Associated Pres*

Honolulu, Hawaii, Feb. 7. — Steam-
ship company officials announced
here today that President Manuel
L. Quezon, of the Philippine Com
monwealth government, and his
party will be transferred to the
American ship “Lurline” of the
Matson Navigation Co., tomorrow.
The “Lurline" is bound for Han
Francisco.

This change \n President's Que-
zon’s plans caused cancellation of
a military review In hi* honor here
as well as a dinner to have been
tendered by Hawaiian Governor
Joseph B. Poindexter.

The Quezon party. It was said, i
will b© brought ashore here on a '
coast guard cutter from the a. a.
“Empress of Canada'’ while the
liner Is offshore, to prevent delay
in departure on the “Lurline'\

The opinion was expressed here
that the move, made on President
Quezon's request, was to eliminate
the planned elaborate receptions
here and in Vancouver B. CL

ident Market l^„Q&£zon, the de- j
partment of public works and

the PI ,200,000 for the construction
of a new customhouse building at
the Port Area.

The plans for the tier cuotcms-
house are being completed by th 2

reau will announce the calling for

The customshouse will be one
of the most modern structures of
its kind in the Orient, and will be
provided with facilities needed by
the office, including laboratories.

Acting Insular Collector of Cus-
toms Guillermo Gomez yesterday
created a special committee of
live members to study the plans
of proposed customshouse budld*
ing.

The committee is composed of
Deputy Collector of Customs Al-
fredo de Leon, chairman; and
Captain M. del Villar surveyor of
the port; Hr. H. F. Smith chief
quarantine officer for the Philip-
pines; Customs Auditor Francia;
end Isaac Sayoc chief of the ma-
rine division, members -

Omalia, Nob., IV b. 17 (UP).— Pre-
sident Manuel L. Quezon of the
Philippines, informed of the nomina-
tion of Paul V. McNutt as high
commissioner of the Philippines,
made no comment when questioned
w reporters tonight except to in-
quire if McNutt was a “scholar.”

' The Philippines President was en
route to New York, whence lie will
proceed to Washington for prelim-
1 inary discussions envisaging a Phil-
ippincsTTnited States trade confer-
cnee. He was expected to reach
New York at 2:30 p. m., Friday

mentioned previously as likely to
bn named to tbe technical staff

The Philippine trade commis-

sionership has been merged with
,the offlee of the resident commis-
sioner. The position of pensio-

nado agent also has been abolish-

, (De la “ Associated Press”)

Washington, 1 de marzo. — Comentando este dia el anun-
eiado .ultimo ataque de sus enemigos politicos en Filipinas,
el Presidente Manuel L. Quezon ha declai’ado que “ellos de- 1

el verdadero proposito de su mision comercial a los Estados
Unidos. Ahadio: “No me sorprenden Aguinaldo y Aglipay,
pero Sumulong debe saber mejor”.

El Psesidente Quezon comentaba con esto una noticia
publicada.en los periodicos de Manila, dieiendo que en los
circulos del Frerite Popular, un incipiente grupo oposicio-
nista, habia circulado el rumor de que uno de los propdsi-
tos capitales del viaje del jefe ejecutivo al extranjero era
tantear la posibilidad de un protectorado combinado nmeri-

F. D. IS AGAIN

Introduced To Guests As
Fellow Washingtonian
By Roosevelt

By United Press

WASHINGTON, March 3.
— President MjinueJ^ Quezon
at a press conference this
afternoon revealed his intern
tion of inviting President
Roosevelt to visit the Philip-
pines.

He commented on the
White House luncheon in ap-
preciative terms, particularly

Roosevelt's informal remarks in
presenting the former as a "fal-
low Washingtonian/* Roosevelt
had expressed his pleasure in tin
opportunity of honoring the Com-
monwealth president.

It was recalled Roosevelt had
publicly stated to visit the Philip-
pin2s some time during his sec-
ond term, possibly this year. If
he does, h© will board a cruiser
for Manila, probably stopping in
Honolulu and Guam enroute.

By HARRY W« FRANTZ
United Press Staff Coirespondcnt

WASHINGTON, March 3— Pres-
ident Franklin D. Roosevelt gave
a second luncheon In honor of
President Manuel L. Quezon to-
day, with a guest list of 19 high
officials indicative of the import-
ance attached to impending Phii-
ippine-Amcrican discussions.

Francis E. Sayre, assistant sec-
retary of state, earlier told the
United Press he had held a pre-
i Hminary two and onc-half hour
conversation with President Que*
zon, which he found "very satis*

* factory /*

As a result, Sayre revealed,
plans for a full detailed considera-
tion of many matters have been
completed. Sayre said conversa-
tion with the insular executive
will be continued.

Guests at tho White House lun-
cheon Included Secretaries Cordell
Hull of state, Claude Swanson of
navy, and HArry WooirJng of
war. It was considered signifi-
cant that these three cabinet
members would be the most 'con-
cerned in the future evolution of
a policy affecting commercial, mi-
litary and naval status of the is-
lands.

President Quezon is pessimistic
as to the outlook for neutrality.
“Unless within the next four or
five years the attitude of the great
powers toward various accords
changes,” he says, “I don’t believe
a neutralization treaty would mean
much." Doubtless there is some
basis for this opinion in the light
of recent history; but the fact that,

CONFIDENCE
IN PRESIDENT
VOICED HERE

Quezon’s Silence oil Eve Of
Inter - Departmental Talks
Taken to Mean No Change
In Objective*

25 Years

TJ?T E- HAVE a Javanese visitor in
** our midst. The other day he
gave a program of Javanese dan-
ces at the University of the Philip-
pines. He is due to sail for India
shortly to teach Indonesian cul-
ture at the Tagore University.
The Javanese also nourish the
dream of national self-determina-
tion in ^ their breasts, we learn
from him.

Philippine political leaders and
Malacanan yesterday were not In
touch with President Manuel L.
Quezon, and this "silence” on the
eve of his conference with Presi-
dent Franklin D. Roosevelt’s inter-
departmental committee was Inter-
preted here to mean that he will
enter the conferences with no al-
terations of the plans he outlined
to political and government lead-
ers prior to his departure.

Members of the National Assem-
bly stated yesterday that before
he left for the United States on
Januarv 23, President Quezon con-
ferred with them at length and out-
lined to them the objectives of
his trip. They revealed that they
approved these objectives.

It was also agreed, they said,
that they were to be consulted by
the President should be find It
necessary to alter his plans, and
the fact that he has not done so
after two conferences with Presi-
dent Roosevelt at the White
House, and with other Waahlr.

President Quezon will be curious
to hear how his proposal to cut the
transition period short and ad-
vance complete independence to
1938 or 1939 was reported in
Java* through the only news agen-
cy, a Dutch organisation, operat-
ing in that colony. Seems that
the news agency took liberties
with the Quezon proposal, report-
ing that it actually asks for the
extension of the transition period
for additional period of twenty
five years. “See?” the Dutch of-
ficials told the Javanese national-
ists. “There’s the Philippines,
much more advanced politically
than you, and it asks for twenty-
five years more.” The Javanese
were puzzled and unconvinced and
wrote Manila for verification.

Beauty of this inspired distor-
tion lies in the possibility that the
Dutch news agency may, in time,
be borne out by events as seen
through its crystal ball.

Nation-Wide Rizal Biograph
Contest Is Announced By Vargas

Malaeauan yesterday announce!

the opening of a nation-wide con-
test for the best biography of Dr.
Jose Rizal, Filipino national hero.
A substantial monetary reward
awaits the winner, besides honors
which may be conferred on him.

The winning piece, which should |
be of book-length, may be adopted
as official text book in the pubic
schools and as reference in the
public libraries. The government
will undertake the printing of the
biography and the author may be
granted a royalty from the sale of
the book, it was explained by Jorge
B. Vargas, secretary to the Pres-
ident.

Tlu* Rizal biography contest idea
was hatched at a press conference
recently at MnlaenSan. President
Quezon welcomed a suggestion from
one of the newspapermen present at
the conference and announced at.
once his intention of opening a best
biography contest.

“The contest is open to every
Filipino citizen and the decision
will be based mostly on tlic necn-
raev of facts, the finesse of the com-
position, and the coverage of the
life of the illustrious patriot. The
discovery' and bringing to light of
certain interesting and important
facts which have hitherto remained
hidden or obscure, are principally
ermournged. .

Mrs. Quezon Enroute To U. S. Sends
AmeaTffere For Woman Suffrage

As April 30, the day set aside for
die woman suffrage plebiscite,
Iraws closer, the women of the Phil-
ppincs are receiving, messages of
licouragement and sympathy from

important of these arrived recently.
£rom Mrs. Man uel Qu ezon, tirst

!eu1y of land. .

The message, sent id the Nationa
Federation of Women’s Club while
Mrs. Quezon was enroute to the
United States follows:

the women to feci indifferent to the

absurdity of any suspicion that this
country of ours wants to use the
Philippines as foothold for an ag*
gross)} e war on Japan must be
readily apparent. The general im-
pression among most of us has boon
that one of our best reasons for get-
ting out of the Philippines is the
desii ability of avoiding unpleasant
complications and dangerous inter-
national potentialities in a region
far beyond our logical “sphere of
influence.” The thought of possible
United States aggression against
Japan can be explained only by a
realization that the propaganda
mills are always busy, that they can
find material in almost any kind of
a situation, and t lint the jingoism
which delights in pointing to alleg-
ed “perils" and “menaces” of one
kind and another is not limited to
any one nation of the world.

Woman Suffrage
From All Angles

DISTURBING THOUGHT- Most people can per-
haps trust to the Instincts of President Quezon and his
cabinet when they finally decide whether or not teach-
ing falls within the purview of the constitutional pro-
hibition against public officials engaging in “any profes-
sion”

At the same time there is the somewhat disturbing
thought that neither the President nor the members
of his cabinet (all of them loyal defenders of the consti-
tution) cannot live forever and must sooner or later
give way to successors of whose instincts we shall stand
in doubt if not in fear.

Without intending to alarm the whole nation, I want
to underline the extraordinary statement of an un-
named “government legal authority” who permitted him-
self to be quoted in the Herald yesterday to this effect.

The lifting, hoxoever, of the ban (on the teaching
by government officials in private schools) is purely dis-
cretionary upon the President as a matter of policy. If
he so decides, the Chief Executive will not be violating
the Constitution.

The “government legal authority” must adore the
President so much and the Constitution so little to have
permitted himself the luxury of such an opinion. I doubt
if even President Quezon himself would want to be so
adored — in public and within the hearing of people who
continue to believe somehow that the Constitution Is
greater than any man.

I doubt furthermore whether the President, grant-
ing him every human excellence imaginable, will assume
the responsibility of lifting a constitutional prohibition
at will, and the responsibility furthermore of being taken
at his word when he decides a plainly questionable issue
and says that he is not violating the Constitution.

Se uombrara pronto un Comite Conjunto
y si hay “crisis”, seria inmin
la independence inmediata

Qfd.i

(De la "Associated Press'’)

Washington, 16 de marzo. — Se ha introducido este dia
un nuevo eiemento en la situacion comercial filipino-ameti-
cana despues que el Seqretario de Estado Cordell Hull con-
firmo la posibilidad de que se adelante la fecha.de la inde-
pendencia completa para las islas. La fecha original sena-
lada en la Ley de Independence es el 4 de julio de 1946.

Recientemente mucho se ha ha-,
blado de la posibilidad de que la
fecha de la independencia insular
se adelante, y el Secretarlo Hull ha
confirmado esto este dia, cuando el
Departamento de Estado anuilcid
que el Presidente de la Mancomu-
nidad Filipina., Manuel L. Quezon
iba a reanudar sus conversaciones

comerciales con la 5 aut-orldades fe-
derales correspondientes p~quf el
jueves. ‘Los funcionarios del Depar-
tamento de Estado han predicho
que en la semana que viene se va
a formular una declaracidn o anun-
cio importante, pero no han queri-
do anticiparla.

El pas© proximo, creacl6n
del Comite Conjunto

En una declaracidn antes de la
lleg-ada del Presidente Quezon de
Nueva York, los funcionarios del
Departamento dijeron que probable-
mente el paso prdximo, despufe de
las conversaciones iniciales, serfa el
nombramiento del comite conjunto
filipino, que se encargarA de orde*
nar los asuntos para la conferen-
cia general.

Se ha anunciado que el Presi-
dente Quezon seTia el huesped de
honor de un banquete que dara el
embajador chino Sao-ke Alfred Sze
el 4 de abril y de ofcro que tambten
dara el embajador nipon Hisori
Saito a la noche siguiente.

Mientras tanto, la senora Au-
rora A. de Quezon y su hijo Ma-
nuel, Jr., acompaflados de 1*>
seflora del Secretario de Justice
Jose Yulo, de ft* Mancomunidad
y del General de Division Basi-
lio Yaldes, probablemente se rexr
xuran con el Presidente el mier*
coles (ayer) en Nueva York,

Hace varios dias, el Senador Mi-
Hard E. TydingB, dkmocrata, de-
Maryland, co-autor de la ley de Im
dependencia, dijo que no veia nil*
gun obstaculo insuperable” para el
convenio comercial con la conoeswn
de la independencia complete. En«
tonces, el Presidente Quezon rehuso
dedr si iba a pedir el acort^nien-
to del periodo de trsnsicion.

En los primeros dias de este mess,;
los miembros del Comite de Asun-
tos Insulares del Sesnado declare

congresistas, sin embargo, express
ron particxilarmente la opinion de

negociaciones comerciales, el Con-
greso podria impacientemente apro*
bar la independent inmediata.

QUEZON

President Receives Decoration
— Is Guest of Honor at U. S.
Embassy Banquet

The p* iposa'l of President. ilan-
uel L. Quezon set forth ! in his
speech Monday morning has

resulted in some changes , in the
local political situation. These
changes include the pacification of
a majority of radicals, the winning
of those. who were formerly against
him and that foreign investors
who were before entertaining fears
have been considerably calmed,
j This wa 3 the Impress.on gathered
' in busin-ss, political and govern-
ment circles.

President Quezon s move is re-
garded in the Philippines as well-
calculated strategy, in which he
. captured not only the sympathy of
: som? of those who have always
\ been against’ Philippine indepen d-
j ence» hut also the interest of
; those friendly to the Philippine,
j cause. It. has, likewiss, brought him,
J close once more to a certain group
here, who turned against him, in,
the belief that the President has
taken mor? interest in economic
| matter than in independence. it
\ was said.

* The nervousness in business cir-
cles caused by the previous a.n-

The group will reaffirm its stand
for immediate independence, which
its members believe to be the ba-
sis of President Quezon’s independ-
ence proposal;.

The President’s speech was re-
ceived with approval by several
leading members of the Popular
Front and was interpreted by them
as in line with their own stand.
Among those ’ who endorsed the
Quezon proposal were ex-Senator
Emiliano Tria Tirdna, Geronimo
Santiago and Councilor Segundo
Agustin.

Mr. Tirona, commenting on the
Quezon proposal, declared last
night that ’the Popular Front is
pleased to note that the President
has taken the attitude insisted
upon by the opposition group.

He declared that the proposal
for an eaxly independence is back
e d by the people. H? explained
that it would be immaterial * >r
the Popular Front |f its affirmation
of its stand for immediate indep-
endence would be interpreted by
the people as endorsement of
the Quezon proposal.

“Our main interest”, said Mr.
Tirona and Mr. Santiago “is to

ouncement of Mr. Quezon’s pro
osai for early independence has
een lessened with the President’s
ounsei to th? people here not to
e alarmed.

On the other hand, pessimistic
msinessmon in Manila and in the
jrovinces expressed the behet
hat the President’s proposal, u
onsidered and approved by
ongress, would discourage foreign
apital. in the Philippines.

Certain elements still doubt the
^resident’s prospects of getting the
pprovai of his program in the
jnited States, in view of the many
spocts that would have been con-
iderod before the United Stales
urns the country loose. In fact,
he statements of High Comtms-
ioner Paul V. McNutt, who is now
;n his way to the Philippines,^

, e ing interpreted as showing that
i e -is talking "with knowledge of
he situation" in Washington.

The fact that President Quezon
,as not favored the sugar interests
n the Philippines unduly is said*
0 he due to the fact that the P I( '“
dent has carefully studied the
•ondition of .the sugar industry
: ere and has concluded that su-
, ar producers in the Philippines
Wd not be as hard up as rice
... coconut producers, even if »n-
iependcnce is granted next year
, r in two years.

Members of the Popular Front,
ccal opposition group, will meet
onigbt at the residence of Judge
ruan Sumulong to discuss and ana-
• the early independence-trade
Jeaty proposal of President Ma-
auel U- Quezon.

have President Quezon carry out
the ideal of immediate independ-
ence, which is the wish of the peo-
ple. The earlier independence
comes the better, whether or net
it conies with a trade agreement.

“Wa have always doubted the
wisdom of President Quezon's mis
sion, as he has gone to the United
States for the expressed purpose
of securing merely a trade agree-
ment with the United States. ThiB
has been announced by him and
by his followers, who have entire,
by ignored the independence ques-
tion. But now that the’ President is
insistent on early independence, w e
have ground to hellevc that ‘tire
President is taking the "independ-
; ence question to heart.’

All plans affecting the proposed
trip of General Emilio Aguinaldo
to the United States to ask Pres-
ident Rofosevelt and Congress to
grant immediate independence to
the Philippines, will be suspended
pending further developments ih
the United States in connection
with President Quezon’s activities.

Mr. Tirona, however, declined to
conclude that the proposed trip of
General Aguinaldo is definitely
I cancelled since President Quezon
has already worked out a proposal
for immediate independence, The
general’s trip will have to be left
undecided now, because rf General
Aguinaldo goes to the United
States under the present circnm-
tances, his ’trip might b e construed
as an obstruction to the work of

Mexico City, April 9 The
Grand Cross of "Venera” was
awarded today to Philippine Com-
monwealth Pr-&dUfiOJL Manuel L. }
Quezon by the Venera ftevSluVlb-
mtfV’Drganization, composed of ve-
terans of Mexico’s revolution. Tho
award was made after President
Quezon laid a wreath on Mexico’s
Independence Monument.

It was authoritatively indicated
that Mexican President Lazaro
Cardonas would not return to the
capital in time to greet President
i Quezon and members of his party.
President Cardenas is on an ex-
pended inspection trip through tho
provinces.

The Congressional reception
planned for President Quezon also
was cancelled because most of the
congressmen are out of the city.

; President Quezon wus'the guest
of honor tonight at a banquet given
by American Ambassador Josephus
Daniels at the American embassy.

Desirous of establishing amicable
trade relations between the Phil-
ippines and Mexico, President Que-
zon today began a round of offi-
cial entertainment. United States
and Mexican officials joined in
paying honors to the visiting chiof
j executive.

President Quezon said that any
conversation on trade relations
. uetweon the two countries would
not “disgust” him, adding “I hopo
as in the past when galleons of
j Acapulco crossed the Pacific carry-
ing merchandise from one country
to the other, so today there may
be an interchange of ideas and
goods between these two people
which will keep the two countries
in constant touch.”

Praising Mexican President La-
zaro Cardenas as a "great states-
man and a great man,” President
Quezon expressed the hope that
the Mexican executive will visit
the Philippines before his term of
office expires.

President Quezon asserted that a
stable government these days
"must <lo justice bo labor.” Ho
said that friendship and coopera-
tion between capital and labor la
necessary for “the stability of po-
litical and social institutions.” Ho
affirmed hfs faith in democracy
as the best system of government
so far devised.

President Quezon will return to
Washington in time to receive an
honorary degree from Georgetown
University on April 17.

President Quezon. Anyactivity of
the Philippine President cham-
pioning the cause of immediate in-
dependence will receive the Pop-
ular Front’s cooperation Mr. Ti-
rona said.

Judge Sumulong is due 'to return
to Manila from Antipolo some time
today to attend the meeting U*
night.

La Buena Estrella Del Presidente Quezon [Kaibigan Ni

Quezon Si Garner

-coGDo*-

jYTAPOLEON, que era uno de los
genios de la estrategia del sig-
lo pasado, solfa decir que, mien-
tras la buena estrella le acorn pa-
nase, mandaria en el mundo.

C El genio no es tcdo. Hay tantos
genios que se pierden en la oscu-
j idad, y se malogran en la vida
de familia por falta de suerte.

Yo no se bajo que signo del zo-
diaco nacio nuestro Presidente Ma-
nuel L. Quezon. Los auspicios de-
ben ser muy felices cuando los ful-
gores de su estrella no se apagan.

Y no hay senales de que se apa-
guen. En el firmamento politico
sigue brillando como una estrella
de primera magnitud.

El Secretario Cuenco en Leyte,
y varias asociaciones obreras en
Manila, ya le han proclamado como
el primer Presidente de la Repii-
blica Filipina.

. Dijerase que es un iluminadc, o
es un aliado de la Providencia — la
Providencia, que es complice de to-
dos los designios humanas, y de to-
dos los triunfos y todas las derro-
tas de los grandes caudillos.

Nuestro Presidente tumbo cuan-
do quiso la primera ley de inde-
pendencia Hare-Hawes-Cutting.
Sabia que era defectuosa.

Pero al volver a su patria con
la nueva ley Tydings-McDuffie, que
tampoco era perfecta, obtuvo el
privilegio de obtener su enmienda
y apuntar a su favor una nueva
gran victoria.

Esta victoria la llevara a la cus-
pide de su gloria. Su liderato se
hara mas invencible. Los otros
caudillos seran sus auxiliares, o se-
cundones. No hay otro remedio.

El General Aguinaldo, Don Juan
Sumulong, Don Geronimo Santia-
go, que en la lucha contra la pri-
mera ley de independencia II-H-C
fueron sus aliados, y se rebelaron
luego, estan amansados. No pue-
de ser de otro mode.

Los radicates estan quietos. Han
estado clamando por la pronta in-
dependencia, y una abreviacion de
dos anos a partir del segundo pe-
riodo, casi toca los limites del In-
mediatismo.

Nuestro Presidente Quezon sera
el eje del mundo politico filipino.
Ya lo es. El ocupara todo el cen-
tro del escenario. Sera el sol con
las tres estrellas alrededor del cual
giraran los planetas secundarios.

No hay ningun Josue de la le-
yenda biblica que pueda detener la
carrera de ese sol que se India en
el cenit de su grandeza.

A los filipinos yo digo:

“No vale enfadarse contra la bue-
na suerte ayudada por el genio pc-
litico. Napoleon, el liombre del
Destino, estadista y constructor,
solo tuvo presentimiento : su rapi-
da ascencion lo hizo tenter una cai-
da estrepitosa.”

Dios salve a nuestro Presidente
de tan tristes augurios. No hay
dioses inmortales, ni fulgores in-
extin guibles.

CAN CONGRESS SHORTEN
THE TRANSITION PERIOD

? 1

Controversy has arisen as result of
new discussions affecting the future

president Quezon, who is now in

America

is a move in Congress,

_ said to have been initiated by
representatives of interests adverse
to those of the Philippines, to
amend the Tydings-McDuffie Law
by shortening the transition period
to five years. Can Congress so
amend the Law at pleasure? 1 be-
lieve not (?). The opinion may
seem absurd, but so I believe.

Section 17 of the Law provides:

“ The foregoing provisions of tins
Act shall not take effect until ac-
cepted by concurrent resolution oi
the Philippine Legislature or by a
, convention called for the purpose
of passing upon that question a-
may be provided by the Pbilippm

^fn 1 theTight of this section, the

Tvdings-McDuffie Law is not like

Sy other law passed by Con **g*
affecting the Philippines, which
may at^any time be amended or
repealed by that body. The Ty

and of the President of the . Un

months afterwards, when the

dings-McDuffie Law.

the so-called enabling act would
•and could not have the force and
effect of law.

The Tydings-McDuffie Law is,
therefore, a part of our Constitu-
tion not because it is an act of
Congress affecting the Philippines,
but solely because of our free will
we accepted it.. When we desire to
amend our Constitution, we are
bound to follow the same process
in which the Constitution was
made, that is, the amendment
must be submitted to the Presid-
ent of the United States for ap-
proval and then to the people for
ratification before it can take ef-
fect .

Now, how should the other part
of our Constitution, the Tydings-
McDuffie Law, be amended? There
is no provision in the Law pres-
cribing the method to be followed
er sense than any other law pass-
ed by the U. S. Congress for the
Philippines is.

It is of a different category from
the Jones Law. It is more than
what is technically called an ena-
bling act. In a sense, Congress
enabled the Philippines to esta-
blish and promulgate a constitu-
tion for themselves by means of
the Tydings-McDuffie Law, but by
the terms of the Law itself, it was
not alone by the will of Congress
that the people of the Philippines
acted upon the matter. They act-
ed because it was their will to act.
Apart from their act of free will,

for its amendment, and it would
seem rather silly to have included
such a provision, but should the
Tydings-McDuffie Law, as a part
of our Constitution; of an entirely
different character from any
other law of Congress, be amend-
ed in the same way as any other
congressional enactment? If it
could be amended or repealed at
will, our act in accepting it would
be an absolutely meaningless cere-
mony, and equally meaningless
would be the provisions of the Law
making its effectivity dependent
upon our acceptance.

W

HEN we say that what be-
came a law by mutual assent

The Tydings-McDuffie Law is a
part of our Constitution, in a high-

Senator Millard F. Tydings, co-
author 0/ the T-M law.

for Congress to pass an act affecting
our welfare to become a law upon
our acceptance and then, as soon as
the act is accepted, as soon as it be-
came a law by our act of will, change
it, modify it, to our disadvantage.
If the Independence Law could be
changed to our disadvantage at the
pleasure of Congress, how pitiful
and ridiculous must appear all the
trouble, all the partisan bitterness,,
that we had over the rejection or
acceptance of the Law with its ori-
ginal name!

can be amended only by mutual
assent, we refer more to the ethic-
al side of the question. The Ty-
dings-McDuffie Law is certainly
rj0 t a contract to which the cons-
titutional prohibition against im-
pairment of obligations of contract
may apply- But it has all the mo-
ral implications of a contractual
undertaking, the terms of which
each party is in honor and in duty
bound to observe.

Those debates of the defunct Le-

To me those amendments in the
Law unfavorable to us, introduced
after our acceptance, are, while per-
fectly legal, acts of bad faith. Shal-
low but over-pretentious intellects
may ridicule me for so believing, but
I condemn all such proceedings as il-
logical, absurd, tainted by sheer bad
faith. The Law that became a law
by our acceptance cannot be chan-
ged to our disadvantage without our
consent. Congress may legally
change it so, but Congress may not
do so without betraying its good
name, and we hope that Congress
will not.

San Fratieiteo (U. P. By Airmail) —

Arrival of Commonwealth President
Manuel Quezon in the United States
has precipitated anxious consideration
among local Golden Gate Exposition
officials regarding active Philippine
cooperation in the 192u world fair
here.

With Mew York and San Francisco
each staging an international exposi-
tion site there are evidences of*every
interest in the Big City ? s elaborate lay-
out for two years hence. He, how-
ever, is believed to have made no de-
Snite pledge of participation in the
New York -affair.

On the other hand, native participa-
tion of the Philippines in the
Francisco fair is confidently forecast
by President Leiand W. Gutier of the
Exposition. Gutier and Herbert
FJefcabhnckeiv the Jatter a personal
friend of 'Mr. Quezon, conferred with
the island executive in New York to
outline their far-flung program of fo-
reign participation.

Gutier siatl Mr. Quezon expected to
visit San Francisco later this sum-
mer to make a personal tour of the
Exposition island (Yerba Buena) and
to gather facts and information re-
garding the fair.

“President Quezon is extremely in-
terested, realizing that the San Fran-
cisco Exposition will truly be a ‘Pa-
geant of the Pacific.’ and that all the
countries of the Orient and the Far
East will play a vital role in making
it a success, Cutler said.

Necessity for the most stringent
economy in operation of the common
wealth regime during tbe-years of the
transition period is believed to exclude
any possibility that the Philippines
will have an exhibit in both fairs,
although such is conceivable.

LEARNING BY EXAMPLE — “ Here we have seen
how a nation is built on the basis of a new social order."

As soon as it was announced that President,. Quezon
was going on a visit to Mexico, many people, myself in-
cluded, were in high hopes that something would come
out of the trip beyond encouraging sentimental recol-
lections and encountering once a gam a “long-lost
brother’*.

If the statement of President Quezon, which aere
quote, means anything at all, I hope it does mean that
he has not only observed how a “new social order” is
being evolved in Mexico but is determined to proceed
with his work in the Philippines in accordance with cer-
tain plans suggested by what he has seen.

Certainly President Quezon did not have to go to
Mexico to realize that the Philippines was in dire need
of social surgery of some kind. In fact his entice gov-
ernment program since his inauguration has been shap-
ed by his consciousness of this need.

What he most needed was a demonstration of me-
thod in a country closely resembling the Philippines in
respect of social history and economic background. Ho
now has found such a country in Mexico to which we are
bound by the closest of cultural and historical ties.

In r.o other respect do Mexico and the Philippines
more closely resemble each other than in the agrarian
problem which both are endeavoring to solve. In a recent
interview with an American newspaperman, President
Carnedas explains the details of his program. He is
today buying one after another the big private estates
at nominal prices. These he distributes to the peons
in modest parcels sufficient to maintain them in inde-
pendent livelihood.

To prevent these peons from selling out once again
to landlords should crops fall, he has established in the
provinces small rural banks ready to loan money at low
rates of interest. These parcels of land may not be
mortgaged or sold to private parties.

Furthermore, President Cardenas has created a gov«i
ernment agency to assist and supervise the new inde-
pendent farmers in their work. It Is the task of this
agency to give farmers expert advice in the matter of
plant varieties, fertilizers, etc.

Thus, the Mexican government has set Independent
' farmers as its goal, but independent farmers who will
remain independent because every means has been pro-
vided to enable them to do so.

Here at least Is one lesson we should not be too
proud to learn from a “long lost brother.”

Plan

Now that the cabinet lias approved the creation of a
committee on the building of homes -for those who have been

deprived of their dwellings "by
the Tondo lire; it is to be
hoped that no time will be lost
in formulating a plan and put-
ting it into execution.

By a combination of cir-
' . cumstances, both the neces-

sity and the facilities are present for the realization of the
hope that the slums in the city will be cleared away, to
make room lor comfortable, sanitary dwellings for the poor.
Phe lanid is now available, and so is the money to make an
early start on the project. Now that the highest officials
in the land have given their approval to the program, noth-
ing remains but its execution.

In this connection it is also to be hoped that: the com-
mittee will decide on working along the lines suggested by
Presid ent Quezon with respect to individual homes rather
than tenements^ As long as there is enough land available,
the individual home, giving its occupant a sense pf 'inde-
pendence and security, is far preferable to the tenement
building in which scores of families will be huddled together.

Governor Of Taiwan Coming

Adminai Seizo Kobayashi, Gov*
ernor-General of Taiwan, former-
ly Formosa, will visit the Philip-
pines next July, with a view to
conferring with President Quezon
aiid explaining the* so-called
i Southward policy of the Japanese
Government, according to the
Osaka Mainichi and Tokyo Nichi-
Kichi.

This prospective visit of a rank-
ing Japanese naval officer and '
colonial administrator has been
prompted, the Mainichi story in-
dicates, by a keen desire of the
Japanese government, particular-
ly that of Taiwan* to promote
friendly relations and cooperation
with neighboring countries south j
of Japan.

It is also stated in the Mainichi
story that after visitiftg President
Quezon and touring the x J hiiippines
Admiral Kobayashi will visit the
Dutch East Indies, the Straits Set*

similar calls on their respective

SUGIERE SE TRASLADE Quezon Given Credit For Selling’

Roosevelt Idea Of Visit To Islands

U ESCBELA NAITHCA

TRASLADO DE LA
NAUT1CA, URGiDO

Se Presentara Un Bill Para
Que Sea Puesta Bajo
El Ejercito

WASHINGTON, By Mail (AFJ. —
President Quezon of the Philippines j
is^qfWtO 1 iramuill'h: It is too early
to tell whether he has sMd Pres- ;
ident Roosevelt on his main propo-
sal of advancing the date for com-
plete independence of the 'Inlands;
but he has succeeded in getting a
4 tentative project for a Roosevelt
return visit to the Philippines into
j circulation.

The Filipino executive and his
staff have been talking about a
big time in Manila next fall ever
since they arrived. Plans are
shaping for a grand birthday cele-
bration for the Islands government.
Jf President Roosevelt is guest of
honor, it should make November
15, anniversary of Quezon's inaugu-
ration, a sort of Philippine .inde-
pendence day.

The word from Warm Springs
was that adjournment of congress
would control fm:tf decision bv the
President. If the' session holds on
too long, the trip will bo deferred

to lOItfi. ,, .

There is just n possibility t-.int
the president iol eye was cooked :1 *
congress with a sardonic gleam in
it when he let this outline of his
reaction get noised about, 'the Su-

preme Court controversy lias slowed
up everything “on the hill" to such
an extent that estimating when the
session will end is chancey. it may
be that Mr. Roosevelt welcomed tho
opportunity to show he was pre-
pared to fight it out nil summer and
all next winter, too. if necessary.

A presidential trip across tho
Pacific might lend itself to more
than a mere return call of courtesy.
It would attract great attention
around the world. Japan would he
a highly interested spectator.

Could Japan fail to invite tho
President to visit there also? It
does not seem likely. And out of
pueh an invitation might grow an-
chor of those fnco-to-fnee conver-
sations to iron out international
difficulties for which President
Roosevelt more than once has
shown a liking.

The President’s time, of course,
Would be limited. ITo would have
to be back in Washington well be-
fore the second session of this con-
gress opens January J, 1038. But
that might not preclude calls in
Austria or New Zealand.

The trip could become a “good
1 neighbor” foreign policy move.

TO PRESIDENT

Confers With Vargas Otii
Eve Of Dsparhure For

Washington

Full cooperation with president
Manuel L. Quezon in the realiza-
tion of his olan for early , inde*
pendence, with adequate and rea*
snnable trade arrangements bo*
tween the Philippines and th€>
United States, on the o^e hand,
and with the Philipp 5 ne-Americata
comimitl ee of experts, on the othe^
hand, was pledged by Assembly**
man Msnuel Roxas today on th«
pvc of his departure for the Uniin
ed States. Assemblyman Roxaa,
member of the joint preliminary
committee of experts, is leaving
bv clipper tomorrow afternoon an<&
is expected to arrive in Washing*
tou on April 28 or 29.

<*I will do my best to cooperate
wilh President Quezon in hie
woik in the, United States an4l
with the members of the joint
committee o n experts,” he
dared. H 1 will do my utmost M
work that may be assigned
uQ me. But, not being thoroughly
mtoimcd of, recent developments
m Washington, I cannot antics
pate what I will do in the Unitefi
State*.

•*The first thing I will do apo*.
tnv arrival in Washington will **
to confer with President Que*o»
aiu that I may hav e a eorr««
Idea of the work I will have to
perforun in the joint committee of
experts," Assemblyman Roxas
emphasized , •‘President Quezon
will probably acquaint me with!
all his plans for early freedom
and economic adjustments be-
tween the two countries. Until
then I cannot anticipate what
tny attitudo will be in the scries
of conferences of the committee
of experts." \

Assomblyrnan Boxa# will tak«
with him necessary data and doc*
aments. Ho expressed, readiness
to undertake any work which the
committee may assign to him, in*
dicating that he is well prepared
to tackle any angle of tbo Phil*
ippine- American trade relations..

Assemblyman Roxas • expressed
hope that the committee will find
a satisfactory basis for tho fu-
ture economic relationship of th*
two countries.

On th© Quezon independence for*
mula, Assemblyman Roxas pre-
ferred not to say anything, until
ho has had sufficient time to know
fully the details of the plan from
(president Quezon himself.. Ho

cooperate with tho chief executive
in his work In the Uqited States,
Assemblyman Roxas this morn*
ing conferred with Secretary Var-
gas regarding his departure to*
morrow afternoon.

With President Manuel L. Que-
f on and legislative leaders out of
tbe Islands, recalcitrant members
the National Assembly are ex-
pected to raise a serious contro-
versy In the legislative caucus ten
morrow morning in view of their
opposite opinions In Important
matters and of the absence of ef-»
fective leadership to whip them in-
to line.

The election of an acting leader
has become the subject of in-
trigues between old and new as*
semblymen. A strong bloc of new
legislators is behind Assemblyman
Pedro Hernaez, a ranking member
of this group revealed today*
Meanwhile, members of the old
guards in tho legislature will raN
ly behind Assemblyman Joso Oza*
mis, who is next in rank to Flora*

4 Leader Jose E. Romero In tae
cbmmitteo on rules of the cham-
ber.-

Hadlcaf assemblymen, howovruv
hold the opinion that the rule* ot
the chamber do not provide for
the election of an actlhg floor
leader. Others maintained that
the next in rank to the chairman
of the committee should always
succeed him and in the absence of
Floor Leader Romero, Assembly-
man Ozamis should take hi* f lace
temporarily.

Attempts of various legislators
bo sottlo the conflict between As-
semblymen Hernaez and Ozamis on
the question of floor leadership
by electing the latter as acting
speaker, met the strong opposition
of Assemblyman Tomas Confesor.
Confesor explained that it would
look unfair and unjust to Speaker
Gil Montlllo, who is about to re-
turn to the Philippines, to elect
an acting speaker when the rules
of the assembly do not provide
such election.

The proposal . of Assemblyman
Enrique B. Magalona seeking tho
continuation of the payment of
sugar processing taxes direct to
sugar planters instead otf to the
government as provided in the
JoncB-O’Mahoney bill, is also
meeting stiff opposition led by
Assemblyman Eagonio Perez. Pe-
rez opined that in view of the
fact that the purpose of the pro-
cessing taxes is to enable the gov-
ernment to regulate sugar produc-
tion, it seems proper that the gov-
ernment should get hold of th©
sugar benefit payments and dis-
tribute them in accordance with
its plan for regulating sugar pro*
duction.

To deprive the government of
its right to dispose of the sugar
benefit payments, might mean
that the sugar planters have no
confidence in their own govern-,
ment, Perez declared. On the
other hand. Assemblyman Maga-
lona pointed out that the present
system of paying the processing
taxes direct fco farmers has been
satisfactory to warrant its conti-
nuance..

NEUTRALIZATION

—

Tlie report that American and Phil-
ippine government representatives
have reached an agreement reaffirm-
ing the provisions of the Tydings-Mc-
Duffie Act calling for the United ,
States government to initiate a move :
for an international agreement of neu-
tralization of the Philippines is less
important than would be a report that
they had found a way to guarantee the
effectiveness of the neutralization
agreement. There is nothing really
new to the agreement looking to a neu- ■
tralization pact but there would be
news in anything assuring, its work-
ability.

The reaffirmation of the neutrali-

zation plan apparently refers to Presi-

Li wi i jjidii appui a ^ vv-r *. - — -

dent-Quezon ? s recent comments indi-
cating that his confidence in neutrali-
zation as a dependable means of assur-
ing the safety and security of the Phil-
ippines was weakening. It will be re-
called that shortly before his departure
for the United States some weeks ago
he made numerous statements indica-
tive of skepticism relative to full re-
liance on neutralization pacts. To un-
derstand the exact relation between
such utterances and the current re-
ports from Washington dealing with
the reaffirmation of the neutralization
plan calls for more inside and detailed
information than yet is publicly avail-
able on the most recent moves there.

At present the Philippine govern-
ment is in a rather difficult position as:
regards reliance on neutralization on
the one hand or, on the other band,
building a defense organization suffi-
ciently strong to provide independent
defense or at least to make invasion too
costly to any invader to be practical.

It is immediately apparent that if
safety could be realized through neu-
tralization on acceptable terms no oc-
casion would exist for a formidable
army, even a defense force.

The most recent reports from
Washington do not indicate the official
A merican-Philippine attitude op this
point, although there appears to be a
tendency in official circles to comment
on the significance of the fact that the
neutralization planning so far has not
reached the point of thoroughly consi-
dering the question of American naval •
bases. However, it is self-evident that'
neutralization supported by strong na-
a j defenses would be a misnomer.

Reassuring

A MERICAN High Commissioner McNutt’s statement
made in Shanghai should prove politically reassur-
ing to the Philippines.

“A large measure of autonomy in the administra-
tion of domestic affairs,” the Commissioner declared,
“has been entrusted by the Independence Act to the Bi-
lipinos. . . . Although the United States continues to
exercise sovereignty over the Islands, It is our policy not
only to avoid unnecessary interference with this auto-
nomous authority, so long as it is exercised in accord-
ance with the purposes and provisions of the Independ-
ence Act and of the Constitution of the Commonwealth
government, but also to give helpful encouragement to
the new government in a sincere spirit of cooperation.”

One of the Philippine uncertainties to which Pres-
ident (Quezon has been calling attention in America is
the vague powers of the American High Commissioner
in the Independence Act and how these powers, in the
hands of an ambitious or ill-advised man, may lead to a
clash with the autonomous Philippine government.
Commissioner McNutt’s definition of his forthcoming
policy may be construed as a satisfactory answer to
President Quezon’s misgiving, and, if faithfully followed,
should result in continued harmony.

NO NEUTRALIZATION, SAYS QUEZON

NEUTRALIZATION is being mentioned with ever increasing
frequency as a solution for the protection of the Philippines
after independence. The most recent reference to it appears
in an article, by one who is regarded as quite an authority, on
Philippine affairs, Harry W. Frantz, United Press staff cor-
respondent at Washington, who during a visit to Manila some
months ago was accorded by President Quezon the honor oi
being a guest at Malacanang durihg the period of his stay.
Writing about a proposal to include the future Philippine re- *
public in the Pan-American union Mr. Frantz says:

Membership in the Pan-American union would tend to strengthen
the international position of the islands when independent, which is
to be assured by a neutralization treaty among Pacific powers.

How are we to reconcile that with the following very
emphatic exclamatory declaration of President Quezon: “God
knows we want no international security pact for the protec-
tion of the Philippines!”

That declaration was made, according to J. B. Powell, Chi-
cago Tribune correspondent in Shanghai, during the course of
an interview President Quezon gave when on a visit to China
last December. In the face of that declaration it -would appear
that if there is to be any neutralization it will have to be forced
on the islands over the head of President Quezon and pre-
sumably of his people, which is hardly conceivable. Of course,
'r.h is conceivable, President Quezon might change his mind.

Army Officers Await Return Of
Quezo n For Action On Promotions

Officials of both the regular and.
the reserve forces of the Philip-
pine Army are eagerly awaiting
the return of President Manuel L.
Quezon. Those in the- regular
force are expecting promotions
while those in the reserve force
anticipate an early transfer to the
regular ranks.

Ranking officials have selected
the officers to be promoted from
among the majors, captains and
first lieutenants and will submit j
their names to President Quezon
for final approval on bis return. !
There will not be any promotion
among the second and third lieu- .
tenants as there was wholesale
promotion on these two ranks early
last year.

The 480 officers m the army s
reserve force have been expecting
to be transferred to the regular j
force since last year and they hope
this will be effected when Pres-
ident Quezon returns. Many of ,
the reserve officers have been call-

IU » .4 «X *our ox active

duty with the rbguihr force but
only Captain J. Hernandez has so
far been transferred permanently
with the regular army. Captain
Hernandez is the aide to Major
General Jose de los Reyes, provost
marshall general.

Outside of the wholesale pro-
motion of second and third lieu-
tenants, there were only two other
major promotions in the regular
force last year. Majors Telesforo
Martinez and Silvino Gallardo
were both made lieutenant colo-
nels.

The list of army officers were
submitted to President Quezon be-
fore he left for the United States
and it was expected then that there
would be early promotions. The
President was understood to have
left the selection of deserving of-
ficers to a few ranking army of-
ficers before he departed. The list
is ready and will be submitted to
the President when he returns.

Washington, April 26. — The
Philippines will be "much
poorer after independence,"
Joaquin. M. Eiizakic, Manila
industrialist and member of
the Filipino delegation to the
joint committee of experts,
said in an interview here to-
day. "The one valuable feat-
ure of the independence act,"
he also observed, "is that it
affords an -opportunity for the
liquidation of American in-
terests in the Islands."

Asked whether his plea for ai
revision of the independence date;
would mean the hastening of the!
commonwealth defense program, !
President 3aid that it was a hypo-
thetical question which he has not
had much time to consider since he j
asked Congress to hasten the date;
of independence.

The entire question of trade re-
lations, he said, is being consider-
ed jointly with the matter of
J[ier and complete independence by
the joint committee. A:-ked whe-
ther there "would be action” when
he returns from Europe, Quezon
said, "Certainly. I hope ro.”

The Quezen party arrived at the
New York Grand Central station
• during the early rush hour, A size-
-able group noticed the police
guarding one of the station exits
and applauded President and Mrs.
Quezon as they c amo o;u
"Everything I go I aim to

any Uiing that may help u* in the
land development of the Philip-
pines," he said, adding that he
looks forward with much interest
to his European studies. He ex - 1
pects to confer with General Dou-
glas A. MacArthur. his military
adviser, before leaving for Europe, i

zon, of the Philippine -

igan, former American high com-
missioner In the Islands.

President Quezon heard himself

wife and mother in an ideal Ca-

j tholic home.”

The visiting executive, during a

hotel reception, highly commended

the Philippines. Pie declared "the
United States put the Philippines
rn its own feet and Governor
Murphy wa.~: the man who did it”
Referring to “sit down” strikes in
this region ’ President Quezon as-
serted that Governor Murphy had
“saved Detroit and Michigan by
knowing how justly to apply and
execute the law.”

companied by their children, were
paid signal honors during a varie-
ty of ceremonies. The visiting par-
ty included General Basilio Val-
dez, of the Philippine army, and

The visitors participated in the
christening of the infant adopted
daughter of Governor Murphy’s
brothei-in-law and sister, Mr. and
Mrs. William Teahan.

Arriving from Washington • the
Quezons were greeted by a mili-
tary band and a crowd of several *
j hundred -persons, including Goy-

ernor Murphy, Detroit’s acting
mayor John W., Smith and dele-
gations of Detroit Filipino organ-
izations. They were escorted to
their hotel by soldiers and an hon-.
or guard of policemen who served
in the Spanisli-American war.

After breakfast at the hotel with
Governor Murphy, the Quezons
participated in the christening ce-
remony conducted at St. Aloysius
Church by Mon signor John M.

\ >oyle. Governor Murphy was the
God-father and Mrs. Quezon was
God-mother. The baby was christ-
ened Mary Aurora, the latter name
in honor of Mrs. Quezon.

During the ceremony Monsignor
Doyle referred to President Que-
zon as "the George Washington of
the Philippine Islands” for his
"stand for the solidity of state and
loyalty to government *’

The party then attended mass
£md later the Quezons were 'guests

attended by more than 100 civic
leaders and Filipino represent-
atives. The invited guests includ-
ed Joseph Hayden, former

Changes in Bureaus May Be j

*l?e Included in 1938 Budget

*?')

A number of changer* in the org* i • otton of dlfb'ic^t ,. *»v'rnmcnfc ,
departments and bureaus to effect simplification and bring about more; i
efficiency, os well as to curtail heavy expenses, arc being considered for
inclusion in the preparation of the 1938 national government budget.

All government departments

have advised thtf bureaus under
them to prepare their estimated
appropriations for the coming

year. Ordinarily, budget estimated
are made as early as March but
due to certain circumstances tho
bureaus have been delayed in

k their preparations this year, it
j was said.

Simplification of the activities of
1 certain bureau divisions will be
gven emphasis in the preparation
of next ^year’s budget. It was indi-
cated that the various departments’
budget recommendations will be
ready by the time President Ma-
nu^l D. Quezonr-re turns here.

No difficulty is expected to bo
encountered by the department in
budget preparation because the;
secretaries will adopt the present!
system of allotting expenditures.
No additional expenditures may

be recommended except when there
are new and urgent activities.

The Philippine Army may havo
the lion’s share of the total ex-*
pendltures of the government,
with a view to intensifying th« j
development of the national do !

fonse system.

The national * government is
expecting to set aside not less
than P10 000,000 for the payment,
of Its shares of stocks In govern-
ment owned corporations in con-
nection with the industrialization

program.

The department of agriculture
and commerce may transfer part
of the activities of the bureau
of science to the National Devel-
opment Corporation.

The department of finance may
recommend the purchase of one
or two cutters or powerful speed-
boats for the bureau of customs.

Letmng From Otfm

Perhaps one oi th e reasons
why the Philippine tenancy
problem in the Philippines
has not been successfully
solved despite herculean ef-
forts exerted towards its so-
lution is the fact that we
have tried to tackle it by our
selves alone. The plan of
President Quezon to employ
the services of an American
agricultural expert who is
coming- to the Islands to aid
the local government in the
study of this thorny issue is
therefore laudable.

Despite the apparent dif-
ferences in international te-
nancy problems, there are a
lot of similarities among
them. For example, the te-
nant whether he be Filipino,
Irish or Mexican has always
strived to be a recognized
element in the production of
wealth instead of being sole-
ly relegated to the back-
ground. He has wanted bet- ;
ter prices for his products
and better concessions from
his landlord. In fact the ,
common tao of the Philip-;
pines if placed in Mexico
would voice the same kick as
the Mexican peon.

The problem in the Philip-
pines is not therefore solely
characteristic here but a rip-
ple in a sea of international
tenancy issues. From the
engagement of an American
expert, whom we understand
is thoroughly prepared for
the job, having taken active
part i n similar tasks not
only in the United States
but in Ireland and Denmark,
we hope something really
tangible will be attained to-
wards this end-

The government must
tackle this question by the
t l e horn now. Other coun-
: ies have been successful
W there is no reason why
cannot learn from them
Xnd adopt their methods.

Quezon Boards Casiana For 2-Day

resident Quezon boa’ tied t\._

9 p. m. last night for a two-day
cruise in Manila Bay and coastal

making tlie leisurely trip mainly for
his health and has taken care not

He took with him but a few of

He had no time to act on the pro-

message read in a radiocast pro-
gram over Station KZKM last
!night.

Vice-President Sergio Osmena,
who spoke during the same pro-
gram, and whose speech was radio-
cast by remote control from Ba-
guio. outlined the concrete evi-
dences of the determination of the
government to care for the wel-
fare of the laboring masses and
said that the Philippines is singu-
larly blessed in having been saved
from the violence and conflict
which have occurred in othe*
countries as a result of the strug-
gle between capital and labor.

_ President Quezon’s message,
which was read by a labor leader,;
is as follows: |

“The modern economic triangle f
seems to be that formed by labor,
capital and the government, with

the government in a rather pre- UIIU ^

carious position between the twb. » Blpidio Quirino when he speaks
More often than not, labor and today before the two groups of

just compensation, the eight-
liom* day, the regulation of land-
lord-tenant relations, the work-
men’s compensation act, and the
establishment of the court of in-
dustrial relations.

Vice-President Osmena praised-
the work done by the Philippine
legislative body, which had the

pro-
violence-

in other countries by approving
such legislation in favor of tho
workers as the circumstances war-
ranted.

“In the pursuit of their legitim-
ate objectives/’ the Vice-President
reminded Philippine labor, *'our la-
borers should remember that pa-
tience, tolerance, mutual respect, 4
and the spirit of good-will and co-
operation will go a long way to-
wax’d lessening the difficulties that
mdst be overcome. Their cause is-
indeed, worthy of full devotion and
our government, which has never
forgotten the interests of the la-
borers, will continue its efforts to
assist them in every possible way
that they may secure the well-
being and happiness to which they
aspire.”

What the Philippine government
has done for the welfare of the
working class and expects to un-
dertake in their behalf will be
the theme of Sccretai-y of Interior

capital are at loggerheads, and
the government, whether inclined
to do so or txot, is forced to Jbe
the third party and act as media-
tor for the two. Labor and ca-
pital are two mighty forces which,
when properly harnessed and put
to work together peacefully and
harmoniously, can bring about an
ideal economic state. But when
hostile to each other, they become
sources of turbulence and dis-
cord, even chaos and destruction.
The government will spare no
effort to prevent the creation of
the latter state.

“The government will stick to
its policy of fairness and square
deal, and will do everything for

the furtherance of cordial relations
between labor and capital, since
it will undoubtedly redound to the
benefit of the country. But at the
;a me time, it is ready to meet

laborers. , . , .

Secretary Quirino is slated to
speak before the so-called radical
group, the National Fedcxation o
Labor, headed by Angel Marin, at
about D o’clock this morning m
Plaza Moriones. Tills afternoon at
about 4 o’clock, the secretary wiL
speak before the conservative
group, led by Ruperto Cristobal.

In a talk with the Tribune yes-
terday noon, Secretary Quirino
said that the Philippines has taken
dire of its laborers which is evid-
enced by the fact that there is
now a sufficient legislation that is
expected to provide for the social
amelioration of the working class.

“The problem now is how to
make those laws operate more ef-
fectively in order to make then)

Political Romanticism

By MIGUEL POBLETE

AMERICAN created Com-
monwealth has given rise to
much romanticism in Philippine
Politics; many have been behaving
as if we were already a full-
i (edged nation and others have
been speculating on the great fu-
... ture of our country. What would
our revolutionary forefathers like
Andres Bonifacio and Rizal say if
they were alive today? They cer-
tainly would entertain no illusion
about our independence, for they
were . superb political realists.
They certainly would not mistake
a foreign creation for a “home-
made Common wealth. Nor would
they mistake a protectorate for a
free, independent nation. Of
course our political romanticists
would not give a hang about what
our dead heroes would think on the
other side of this life. But if we
are to pay a sincere tribute to tire
memories of their heroic and cou-
rageous sacrifices, we must carry
on our great revolutionary tradi-
tion not only in theory but in prac-
tice. Political alarmism on the
part of the oppositionists and the
critics of the present government
has suddenly disappeared since
President Quezon proposed the
shortening of the transition pe-
riod. Pessimists, critics and even
the politically indifferent masses
have begun to feel in the mood for
political love. The Commonwealth
then a protectorate, then an inde-
pendent republic, and then a first-
rate world power. Dizzy with glo-
ry and success! And without a
bloody revolution at that. What
a marvelous transition !

Such is political romanticism
here and now.

Faith in the Chief
Both in America and here at
home pro and con arguments are
tossed back and forth. Apart from
their diversified motives these ar-
guments clearly reveal the con-
flic and difficult nature of the is-
sue immediate independence.

President Quezon advises us to
have faith in him and assures us
that he will Iodic after our welfare
(his speech from Washington). So
our independence is a matter of
faith. All we have to do for our
part Ts trust in our President’s
diplomatic ability. But our poli-
tical independence does not rest on
President Quezon; rather it rests
on American interest. Even if it
appears that President Quezon is
instrumental in securing imme-
diate independence for us, in real-
ity America is doing it for her own
sake. What do American imperia-
lists care about the welfare of us
Filipinos anyway? This is not to
discredit the efforts of our Presi-
dent “to bring happiness to cur
people.” Only we are curious to
find out what is behind the bene-
volent act of American imperial-
ism. And furthermore we must
justify our faith in President
Quezon.

On what basis can President
Quezon give us such high hopes
and such optimism as would turn
the whole country into political
romanticism and adventurism? It
can make President Quezon the
first President of the Philppine
Republic if that would help to
strengthen its position in the Far
East. In other words, American
imperialism knows, that President

Quezon is best suited for the pur-
pose of maintaining and strength-
ening position in ‘ the Far East.
Philippine politics will be so
changed as to fit in America’s
Far Eastern policy. Now what
does this mean?

At (his juncture we must recall
what happened just before the
World War. The United States
promised us independence in the
Jones Law in order to win our lo-
yalty and support in “the fight for
democracy.” The promise proved
to„bera political, maneuver. Then
came a more tangible promise, as
t . ‘ embodied in the T-M Law. No
, sane Filipino \yill deny that the
Commonwealth is Uncle Sam’s and
not our own creation. Now sup-
pose the same benevolent Uncle
Sam is really going to give us the
t long-promised gift of political in-
dependence is, say, 1938. It will
be a gil^which invites a more ex-
pensive gift from us. And that
return gift may be the blood of
our people. No matter how be-
nevolent, America is still impe-
rialistic in every way. Aiid as
such she cannot forget the sweet
memories of her love-affairs with
China and other Far Eastern
countries. Our country has been
instrumental in promoting Ameri-
ca’s economic interests in the Far
East. Our political independence
will have a far-reaching effect on
her position in this part of the
world. This is the economic rea-
son for America’s secret passion
for the Philippines. But there is
still another important reason,
namely, a military reason. In
spite of President Quezon’s asser-
tion of the friendly relations be-
tween Japan and the U. S., Chi-
na’s existence as the best market
and the best field for investment
in the Orient is proof of the dan-
gerous dynamite which will soon-
er or later blow up the supposed-
ly relations between the two coun-
tries. In face of this impending
danger America cannot easily cut
off her ties with our country
which is strategically situated and
which can give the U. S. navy ma-
terial and military support. Who
ther America grants us nominal

j&mAl aLSL^oJL
''tU-

independence or not, she will not
hesitate to use us in case of war
with Japan. All in all, theie is
ground for strong suspicion on our
part that the present measure for
immediate independence is an-
other political maneuver to enlist
us in America’s imperialist war
with Japan.

Japanese Thrust

Of course if you want to dismiss
the above possibility as a mere
hypothesis, then it is up to the
course of ec'ents to verify it. But
we must consider all the possibili-
ties and impossibilities at this se- •
rious moment . before indepen-
dence. The present Japanese gov-
ernment headed by General Ha-
yashi seems to be bent on carry-
ing out a long-planned attack on
Soviet Russia. Inasmuch as So-
viet Russias is the chief enemy in
the way of Japan’s program for
expansion, especially in - * China,
and inasmuch as Hitler Germany
is backing her, Japan is likely to
engage in an anti-Soviet war first.
The outcome of such a war will
determine Japan’s attitude toward
America, her greatest rival in the
Pacific. In any case what will
happen to Japan and America, to-
gether with other world events,
will have an enormous influence
over the future of our country.

in the face of the growing inter-
national situation political roman-
ticism such as is expressed by Pre-
sident Quezon and is shared by
the masses is not a wise substitute
tor the alarmism shown by chick-
en-hearted politicians. “We have
no fear of Japan,” is President
Quezon’s answer to the so-callec
“Yellow peril,” Such a bold state-
ment may mean one of two things
that President Quezon has un-
shakable faith in the ability ot
Wall Street to protect the Philip
pines against the Japanese menac<
or that he trusts the goodwill o:
f . le Japanese imperialists. Om

Japanese domination any more
than we want American domina-

status greedy imperialist powers
will continue their economic pene-
tration in our country. Through
economic channels we shall be do-
minated by foreign interests as
much as China is. We shall be
politically independent but econo-
mically enslaved. Such will be the
fate of our country. And such is
the status of many weak nations
such as Mexico, Columbia and Ve-
nezuela (all are within the sphere
of influence of the U. S.)

Facts and Realism

Both romanticism and alarmism
are harmful in politics. What is
desirable is political realism, an
attitude which respects all the
tacts of political reality. If we
take this attitude toward the ques-
tion of our “immediate indepen-
dence, we come to the following
conclusions. First, we accept the
fact that we are weak, both poli-
tically and economically. Upon the

recognition of this elemental)
we must construct our re-
program. Second, in case
nominal independence from '

Tariff Autonomy Real Objective
m _Quezon , Monitor Man Writes

r J^ ff autonomy, not early imle-
pon donee, as the real objective of
SJu^oii mission in tl.o United States,
• .Sian correspondent of t ho Chris-
ran Schemcc Monitor wrote under
; Waslungton dateline March 32.
Although the public utterances of
1 esident Quezon, his statements and
1,1,11(1 press interviews convey the ini*
l>i cssion that lie is for early inde-
pendence, what in truth he really
seeks is tariff autonomy, according
to the correspondent.

Considerable confusion lias aris-
en after President Quezon’s speech-
es, interviews and private talks-
hero,” tho monitor man wrote, f ‘ To
some, lie has deemed, to be asking
t J o r full independent*© before 394 J
udien under the Tydiiigw-MieDiiffle
Act the Islands were to attain their
freedom. . .Actually that is not his
purpose.”

r J be Monitor Correspondent quot-
ed President Quezon as having said:

AN e are either assuming respon-
sibility for establishing this new gov-
ernment or you arc*. AVe should be
permitted to do as we think. It is
not right that that the opinion of
the man who is temporarily High
Commissioner to the Philippines
ah ouJ d override responsible Philip-
pine officials.”

Ills article read:

“Not earlier political in depend
ence, but autonomy — and specifical-
ly, tariff autonomy— is the outward
purpose ot* tho mission of Maimed
Quezon, President- of the Philippine
Commonwealth, now in Washington.

“ President Quezon thus utilizes
manifest congressional sentiment
for avoiding responsibilities toward
the islands to attain his objective
of better trade terms. To get tariff
autonomy Would enable the Manila
government to bring pressure on
American exports to the islands, in-
directly through admitting more
Japanese goods,, just as the inde-
pendence act brings pressure on the
islands by erecting the equivalent
of new tariffs on their exports,
rising from 5 per cent in 1940 to
2f> per cent in 19-KJ, and 100 per
cent thereafter. Such tariff-mak-
ing power would provide the Phil-
ippines with the bargaining power
they now ladk.

“With 'such tariff autonomy, the
Islands government could lower its
tariffs against Japan or some other
country, and thus bargain with the
United States to secure lowering of
the present economic terms under
the Tydings-McDuffie Act.

< < Considerable confusion has nrfcen
after President Quezon’s speeches,
interviews, and private talks here.
To some, he has seemed to Am ask-
ing for full independence before
1945 , when under the Tydings-Mc-
jiuffie Act, the Islands ,wcr6.- A to at-

“Actually, that is not his pur-

“In appearane, these tactics
seemed to discard President Quct
zou s earlier attributed mission — to
obtain favorable economic conces-
sions lessening the stringency of the
tariff walls specified for from 1940
to 1945 and thereafter, in the inde-
pendence act. Actually, however,
there is an integral connection be-
tween the terms of that act and the
possibility of Philippine fariff auto-
nomy.

^ The act gives the United States
(»o\ eminent a veto power over acts
of the Philippine Legislature and
Government. The High Commis-
sioner, apting for President Loose-
Aelt, could step in to block many
types of legislation under the broad
— and no little vague — terms' 0 f the
law. His (diecking authority would
seem definitely to manic tariff
making, and lias been so interpreted 1
rn tlui past.

“Therefore President Quezon, in
almost all his appearances here —
public and private— lias inveighed
against the. veto authority of the
1 nited States Government. To the
Pre c K Club he said: 1 The situation
created under the Independence Art
is an absurdity that cannot be con-
tinued. Tt is our right to expect
that we shall be allowed to meet the
situation in the Philippines as it
shall arise, in accordance with our
own public opinion.’

“President Quezon’s theory is
that the Tydings-McDuffie Act, hav-
ing been accepted by the Filipino
population An a referendum, take 9
on the nature of a treaty. He be-
lieves its terms should not be altered
except by consent of both parties.
Ydt, as ho points out, in every ses-
sion of Congress since the law was
passed, some alteration lias conic
about. {

“He wishes the treaty nature of
the present law to be recognized in
some official manner. Asked if that
would not influence Congress to 5 in
pose further restrictions on the
Islands,- perhaps additional tariffs,
President Quezon replied — as quoted
in tho New York Times today — that
1 what we want is to have a treaty
with the United States giving iis
economic freedom, but continuing
the terms of tlje Tydings-McDuffie
Act, as at present, for the remain-
ing nine years.

“ 1 Under that act, tariffs on cer-
tain products will bo gradually im-
posed after 31140. But even if gen-
eral tariffs were imposed froni the
time of independence, they would
be counterbalanced, by the fact that ■
the Philippines would be able to
lew tariffs against goods from Ihej
United States.’

“Students of Philippine problems
here point out that President Que-
zon seems to bo choosing a deliber-
ate war around U grt to the objec-
tive attributed to him all along.

Fatigued Great Man

I N Washington, D. C., the
United States Army has its
medical center in the world-
famous Walter Reed Hospital, i
The wife of a lieutenant in
the medical corps went to the
Hospital for a medical consul-
tation. She was told to go in-
to a waiting room. As 'he en-
tered the room she noticed a
man sprawled on a sofa on the
far side, his face covered with
a magazine.

Mrs. Blank became curious.
To her, it was urfusual to see a
man thus while waiting for his
turn to be attended to. She
picked a newspaper which lay
near-by and kept turning its
pages, making as much noise
with it as possible in order to
attract his attention. But he
was so fast asleep that he did

not even stir.

Presently two swarthy gen-
tlemen entered the room. They,
woke up the sleeper and were
very solicitous about him. The
sleeper sat up, registered sur-
prise, and mumbled an apology
for having fallen asleep. He
left the room, bowing stiffly to
Mrs. Blank as he walked out.

When Mrs. Blank’s turn for

ie consultation came, the first
lestion she asked the attend-
physician was, “Who was
iat stately gentleman?”

The following night she was
ill telling her friends that she

En un momento dado, cuando se vea que los ingre-

de los empleados y funcionarlos publicos.

De esta manera podra siempre asegurarse, si no un

System Of Agricultur-
al Cooperatives

By HARRY W. FRANTZ
(Untied Press Stuff Corrc.spfnuU
WASHINGTON (By Airmail).

: — President Manuel L. Quezon dur-
ing i * llll ® l HTBSIKSCK fc TI!^ Intends to

make special study of the economic f
situation in Denmark, where the
system of agricultural cooperatives
is one of the most advanced in the

j A Department of Commerce cir-
cular reported that of 22,000,000
| people in Scandinavia and the Bal-
| tic states, it is estimated that about
j 9,000,000, or 40 per cent, deal in
i one way or another through co- :

n t) ■ operative systems.

Conditions Different
“Conditions in northern Europe**
are more conducive to the success j
of cooperative activity than they
are, for example, in the United
States, as the populations are )
largely homogeneous, the countries;

entire world, .and might afford a are small in /area, and the major
lesson for future application in the

Philippines,.

The presidential interest in the
cooperatives was seconded among
both American and Philippine ex-
perts here, whose economic studies .
of forthcoming months are likely
to embrace various possible means
of strengthening the internal econi- :
omy of the islands.

Some authorities consulted in-
formally by the United Press were J
reluctant to predict that the expe-
rience of Denmark~and other Scan-
dinavian countries would be adapt-
able to the Philippines, owing to
vastly different geographical and
commercial conditions, but the gen-
eral value of any studies that
might be made was considered self-
evident.

Weak Points

The most frequent criticism of
the Danish system was the fact
that it led to the “over-capitaliza-
tion” of the farmers, and created j;
rural debts which became extreme- [
ly burdensome at times when farm J
commodity prices were on the down- f
ward trend. Denmark’s agricul- >
tural system, moreover, was dif-
ficult to adjust to changing mar-
keting conditions abroad, as for
example in Great Britain where
the extension of the Imperial pref-
erence plan led to restriction oi
Danish imports. .

Some authorities pointed out also |
that the efficiency and social ac- >
ceptability of the cooperative agn- :
cultural system requires an inten-
sive publiy education, which would
be practicable in Denmark but 1
possibly less so in the Philippines.
Riddle Tor P. I.

The real riddle of the future for
... Philippines may arise, some!

economists' believe from the ques-
H6n whether small-scale or large- ;

•icrieulture is best adapted:

ity of the inhabitants are employed
in the same industry — agriculture,”
the circular stated.

“Labor is highly organized and
in some cases the governments are
semi-socialist and sympathetic to
cooperatives. In some of the coun-
tries private capital has in the*
past been available only at ex-
tremely high rates, hence the form-
ation of cooperative organizations ‘
for the pooling of finances.

“In the Baltic states especially,
the cooperatives have developed
contemporaneously with private in- i
dustiw, so that competition and
friction between the two have been
held down to a minimum, to their
mutual benefit.

“In recent years, the coopera- •
tives have furnished their govern-
ments with convenient and sensi- ■
tive organizations for the regula-
tion and control of agricultural
production and marketing. 1 his
has been of great importance fn
connection with the imposition of
quotas, duties and other trade bar-
riers in the principal foreign mar-
kets for the agricultural products
, of these countries, and the conse-
quent piling' up of disturbing sur-
pluses on the domestic markets.

United v
PABIS, May 13.— President Mar
nuel L. Quezon revealed tonight
that he has decided to leave for
New York May 19 aboard the su-
per-liner Queen Mary .

The head of the Philippine
Commonwealth said he was fore-
going most of his contemplated
tour of Europe to return to Wa-
shington and study the progress
made by the joint Philippi ne-Uni-
•ted States committee.

Accompanied by Mrs. Quezon,
the visiting president today made
a pilgrimage to Lourdes and the
grotto of St. de Larente. The fa-
mous grotto and pilgrim shrine
are visited by nearly one-half
million persons annually.

Washington, (By Airmail)- gious bacfcgroi
President Manuel L. Quezon of
Philippine Commonwealth —
known as "the Irishman of the
Orient’* — will soon take lessons in
the Irish Free State on the way
and means of attaining ^freedom .

The leader of 17>000.000 Filipinos
revealed before his departure for
Europe late last month that he
intended to study land and agri-
culture programs in Denmark and
the Irish Free State, with a viev&
to their possible application in
the Philippine Commonwealth.

The general similarity of their
problems was also seen in the
fact that both have an economic
system based to a large extent on
the production of agricultural
commodities which are sold large-
ly in the markets of a single

The move has special political
significance because of the fact
that President Quezon recently
sponsored a move here toward
Philippine independence in 1938 or
.1939, instead of the date now fix-
ed in the Tydings-McDuffte Aci
—July 4, 1946. Success of this
movement will depend oa whe-
ther a survey by a joint commis-
sion of experts demonstrates the
possibility of economic adjustment
in the isiands to support the ear-
lier independence status.

President Quezon is expected to
return here in June, when he wm
undoubtedly submit to the joint
committee his personal observa-
tions ‘and recommendations based
upon his European studies. His
observations in the Irish Free
State, . experts believed, will prove
of unique importance because that
state has been evolving toward
autonomous nationhood in the
same period as the Philippines,
and has had numerous political
and economic problems of sub-
stantially similar character.

Both the Irish and the Filipino
peoples made steady progress to-
ward separate nationhood in the
period of the World War, when
Woodrow Wilson’s philosophy oi
the self-determination of small
peoples was generally accepted
by world public opinion. The
Irish struggle was repea „edly ci
ed before Congress in support or
the Philippines’ claims.

Both geople k a <£ a similar reli*

If the Philippines should in fu- '
ture be cut off from the “shelter-

the islands would be compelled to
accomplish greater internal effi-

The Irish Free StMfc 'Srtlfc ta-

tions are favorable, hoping thore-
by to establish a higher degree of

national self-containment. „

Philippines’ policy to date has j lts nee de^
subordinated industrial develop-
ment to agricultural development
due to the fact that the United
States has malnained a sheltered
market for Philippines agricultu-
ral products, as sugar, coconut
and abaca, and has expected in
turn a relatively favored status in
Philippines markets for manufac-
tured goods.

In event that the present Philip-
pines-United States economic sur-
vey should point toward future
abandonment of the preferential
trade relationship, it is quite pro-
bable that the Phillpp : * govern-

Another Bad Government Investment

By ILDEFONSO T. RUNES

r p -WE thirty-year guarantee of
the Philippine government of
the Philippine Railway Company
bonds expire this month. Decision
oh as to what is to be done with
the railway firm will be made by
President Quezon. This is one of
the minor matters to be disposed
of by the President while lie is
abroad, but it certainly is not a ve-
ry insignificant one as it involves
a fundamental government princi-
ple and is of concern to the peo-
ple. Obviously he will take what-
ever action he thinks best, with-
out consulting the National As-
sembly. It is not known either
whether Francis Burton Harrison,
during his recent short-lived ac-
tuation as Malacanan adviser on
transportation, advised the Pres-
ident regai’ding the firm’s pur-
chase.

and improve the Cebu tracks, bu
it is the consensus that the bust?
ness will never pay.

Three obvious causes of the
failure of the company are the ( l )
floated amounted to 95 per cent of stiff competition offered by motor
the actual cost of construction and transportation; (2) the lines are

equipment. Due to the lack of mo-
ney, the Negros project had to be
abandoned and the Cebu line
could not reach 100 miles as ori-
ginally planned.

Act 1497 was approved on
May 28, 1906 and in 1908 the
company floated bends outside of
the Philippines valued at around
P17,000,000. The contract,, how-
ever, with the Philippine Govern-
ment has not been a mere guaran-
tee as the Philippine Railway Com-
pany has. not been able to pay for
the annual interests on the loan
since 1908. Since then we have
advanced F19,210,690.62 as of De-
cember 31, 1936 or at the rate of
about P683,000 yearly.

American Interests

Losing Business

Reports on the audit of the Phil-
ippine Railway Company reveal
that the line has never made any

Thirty years ago New York fi- profit since it started operating 30

nancial interests decided to build
railway lines in the Visayan is-
lands. After putting up a small
capital they caused the Philippine
Commission to enact a law grant-
ing “the Philippine Railway Ccm-
a concession to construct

pany

years ago. If the government had
not guaranteed the interest of the
mortgage bonds the company
would have ceased operation long-
ago. Of late, however, the firm
has been paying the Philippine
Government yearly about P300,000

railways in the islands of Panay, and has been able to wipe off about

Cebu and Negros and guarantee-
ing interests on the first mort-
gage bonds thereof.” Among the
incorporators were William Salo-
mon and Company, Cornelius Van-
derbilt, J. G. White and Company,
Charles M. Swift, International
Banking Corporation, II. R. Wil-
son and Heidelbach, Eckelheimer
and Company. The law further
provides that the Philippine Gov-
ernment “in the event of the de-
fault of the grantee (Philippine
Railway Company) shall itself pay
" on demand at the rate of 4 per
cent per annum.” It is evident
th-it the company constructed the
1 oil road in Panay and Cebu most-

ly « n

borrowed capital as the bonds

too short; and (3) the regions are
too small to give the railway
enough business to make it prof-
itable.

The island of Panay has a net-
work of first class roads on which
operate motor bus lines. The Pa-
nay Autobus Company, the Iloilo
Transportation Company, the Ca-
piz Motor Bus Company, The Fi-
lipino Bus Transportation Compa-
ny and other smaller lines offer
effective competition to the trains
of the Philippine Railway. In Ce-
bu where fares are low, there are
the Cebu Autobus, Cebu Transit
and other smaller companies. So
long as these motor lines are ope-
rating there is no chance for the
railway to make money.

i:

Raiiioays Losing

It has been the experience of
many railroad companies in the
United States and elsewhere that
in the face of the competition of-
fered by motor companies the rail-
roads, except a very few big ones,
have failed. In the Philippines
there is that glaring example of
the failure in the Manila Railroad
Company.

Hi

six and a half millions of its debt
to the government. The question
that now arises is, Shall the Phil-
ippine Government continue to
give aid to the New York capital-
ists to run the railroad which is
in danger of being entirely aban-
doned? President Quezon knows
whether the company is in a po-
sition to redeem the bonds on the
mortgage.

Despite the hopeless case of the
Philippine Railway Company some
high officials of the national gov-
ernment have favored the purchase
of the line. There was a sugges-
tion to motorise the.Pasay line

We have seen that the sinister
influences of foreign capital have
worked adversely. against the Fi-
lipino people in a very peculiar
way. Wall Street at some time fi-
nanced revolutions in South Ame-
rica. In the Philippines the lack of
the people’s vigilance has been the
principal reason for the needless
squandering of government funds
in enterprises in which foreign
capitalists have otherwise profited.
From year to year we have paid
millions after millions of pesos in
investments returns in which now
remain problematical. If these
huge investments are not losses,
what else can they be.

EXPLORE

STATE

Quezon To Take Lessons
In Irish Ways Of At-
taining Freedom

By HARRY w. FRANTZ
(United l J rcss Staff Correspondent)

WASHINGTON, (By Airmail). —
ITe^ent Quezo n of the Philippine
CoiniiionweaTiTi — known as “the
Irishman of the Orient” — will soon
take lessons in the risk Free State
on the wavs and means of attain-
ing freedom.

The leader of 17,000,000 Filipi-
nos revealed before his departure
for Europe late last month that he
• intended to study land and agri-
; culture programs in Denmark and
the Irish Free State, with a view
to their possible application in the
Philippine Commonwealth.

The move has special political
significance because of t lie fact
that President Quezon recently
sonsored a move here toward Phil-
j ippine independence in 1938 or
. 1939* instead of the date now fixed
in the Tydings-McDuffie Act —
July 4, 1946. Success of This move-
ment will depend on whether a sur-
vey by a joint commission of 'ex-
perts demonstrates the possibility 1J
of economic adjustment in the Is-
j lands to support the earlier indepen-
j dence status.

To Submit Recommendations

President Quezon is expected t4
return, here in June, when he will
undoubtedly submit to the joint
! committee his personal observations
and recommendations based) upon
his European studies. His observa-
tions in the Irish Free State, experts '
believed/ will prove of unique im-
portance because that state has been,
evolving toward autonomous nation-!
hood in the same period as the i
Philippines, and ims had numerous
political and economic problems of,
substantially similar character.

Both the Irish and the Filipino
peoples made steady prograss to-
; ward separate nationhood in the
period of the World War, when
Woodrow Wilson's philosophy of the
self-determination of small peoples
/was generally accepted by world
public opinion. The Irish struggle
was repeatedly cited before Con-
gress in support of the Philippines 1
i claims.

Poth people had a similar religious
, n /»k ground, and both had struggled
for decades to establish and main-
where possible a system of

amall land-holdings.

Similarity Noted

The general similarity of their

problems was also seen in the fact
that bo tli have an economic' system
based to a large extent on the pro-
duction of agricultural commodi-
ties which arc sold largely in the '
markets of a single country which
can largely determine the circum-
stances of trade and marketing.

« Export# here thought it . quite 1
; possible that President Quezon's ob-
servations of current economic dev- ,

: clop ments in Ireland might arouse )
his interest in possibility of further \
‘industrialization of the Philippines . \
1 he Irish Free Btate, with tariff
| autonomy, has sought the encour-
agement. of domestic manufacturing
in lines where local conditions are
favorable, hoping thereby to estab-
lish a higher degree of national eco-
nomic self-con tentmont.

Philippines* policy to date lias
subordinated industrial development
to agricultural development clue to’
rhe fact that the United States lias
maintained a sheltered market for
Philippine agricultural products ,
such as sugar, coconut oil, and'
abaca, and has expected in turn
t/r > ia vo red status Tn 'Phil-
ippines markets for manufactured
goods.

Purpose Of Trip

In event that the present Phil-i
ippines-United States economic
survey should point toward future
abandonment of the preferential
trade relationship, it js quote prob
able that the Philippine government
would be re-oxplore the insular ca
parity for “home industries,” pos
siblv supported to a large extent
by local protective tariffs. The
current Irish attempt at industriali-
zation would thus become of inter-
est to President Quezon and other
students of Irish economy.

The purpose underlying President
Quezon's trip to Denmark was to
observe the development and work-
ing of the highly efficient system
of agricultural cooperatives in that
country. These have enabled Den-
mark to compete efficiently in the
great competitive markets of Great
Britain, Germany and other eoun
tries, but Denmark has been obliged I
to afford foreign manufactures n
considerable place in its local mar-
kets.

Cooperatives Stressed

If. the Philippines should in fu-;
ture be cut off from the “sheltered
market of the United States,” the
Islands would be compelled to ac-
complish greater internal efficiency
of production and marketing in or-
der to find and retain a place in
ether important foreign markets.
Some experts think that the cooper-
ative form of organization for agri-
cultural production and distribution
is a practicable means to the attain-
ment of such efficiency, as demon-
strated by Denmark’s experience
with pork and dairy products.

The cooperative system already
has been established in the Philip-
pines between the planters and the
sugar ’ centrals that mill the cane
into sugar. Hand-holdings are li-
mited in the Islands to 2.500 acres,
and a sugar central has from 50 to
1,000 farmers supplying its needs.

Measures to limit’ the enrol-

Philippines tfo not more than 7,-
G00 in June wei’e discussed by
President Jorge B£cob 0 yesterday
afternoon with the college deans
at a meeting of the executive com-

This limitation of enrolment is
in accordance with an agreement
arrived at between President Ma-
nuel L. Quezon and the board of
regents r to ’ set the registration
•figure for the first semester last
year as th^ maximum.

At yesterday’s meeting it was
tentatively decided to limit the
number of new students in the
colleg: of liberal arts to 1,200.
In the college of engineering on-
ly 500 new students will be admit-
ted, and in the college of medi-
cine, 125, What measures to
take if these figures ar e exceed-
ed in June will be decided later
by th ’ committee .

However, the university is not
giving entrance te^-s as a require.,
ment t° r enrolment. Applicants
will 7 be admitted as they come,
although in the college of medi-
cine a committee on admission
^ill pass [on /uh e iualifleation s of
those enrolling.

President Bocobo said yesterday
that the university will increase

take care of a number of new

OFFICIALS TO HOLD
UNTIL 1938

Provincial and municipal officials
will continue to hold their respec-
tive offices until July of next year
unless removed by President ..Ma*
nue l L. Quezo n on or after July 16,
tlnsyear, it has been learned.

This statement was given to dis-
sipate doubts as to whether local
government officials will be remov-
ed or will have to be reappointed
by the President in order to remain
in office until the next election.

Doubt was created by statements
in certain official quarters that pro-
vincial and municipal* officials
would be removed after July 16 un-
less they have been recommended
to stay by the department of the
interior and by the local political
leaders.

It was also intimated in other
quarters that unless the record of
present local government officials
was satisfactory, they would not
carry on for the remainder of their
extended term.

Provincial and municipal officials
were to have gone into another
popular election next month with
members of the national assembly.
The ‘ assembly, however, in its
last session enacted a lav/ ex-
tending their term with that of the
provincial and municipal officials
until July, 1938. This automatical-
ly extended the term of office of
the local officials by about ten more
months.

The law. however, provides that
the President of the Commonwealth
may change a provincial and muni-
cipal official elected in a popular
election within four months after
next July 16. If he fails to do so.
the local official would be deemed
to have been reapointed.

In the provinces, however, the
impression has been , created that 1
local officials would continue in of-
fice only if reappointed by the
President. Official quarters pointed
out last night that the reverse is
true that is, unless provincial and
municipal officials are replaced by
,hc President after July 16 and

Wliat the President 'I

Will Find in Denmark

By GILBERT S. PEREZ

W HEN President Quezon ar-
rives in Denmark, he will
find that Danish people are one of
the most cultured and contented in
the world;

That there are few or no real
poor people in Denmark ;

That the country is ruled by a
king - who has won the undivided
loyalty of his people;

That the country is governed
by a parliament and a cabinet com-
posed of farmers and workers ;

That the farm home in the rural
districts is as clean, as attractive
and refined as those which he may
visit in Copenhagen;

That the young farmers and far-
mers’ wives attend cultural and
technical folk schools during the
off season;

That the counti’y has had to
turn from wheat to eggs and ba-
con as the principal money-making
crop of the country and that they
have made a success of it';

That Denmark is a country with
practically no expenditures for an
army and a navy ;

That the streets of its cities are
among the most beautiful in the
world ;

That the streets are not marred
by unsightly, immodest and inar-
tistic signs ;-

That the. government believes
that a man or W woman who has
worked for seventy years at tasks
it does not matter how. humble, is
entitled to rest with pay during
the remainder of his life — and
that, not as an act of charity but
as a ’ rest that has been earned;

That the success of Denmark in

farming is due to its cooperatives
and its efficient system of folk
schools ;

That the cooperatives fine hea-
vily the members of the organisa-
tion who sell eggs, butter and pork
that are below the standard set
by the organisation;

That the agricultural research
and organisation work of the
country is run, not by a bureau-
cratic organisation, but by an
agricultural council that is sup-
ported by the farmers themselevs;

That the agricultural colleges in
Denmark only enrol as students
those who have had two years of
actual farm experience before they
have reached 18 years and two
years of farm experience after
they are 18 years old;

That English is taught in Da-
nish schools not because of a spe-
cial love for England but because
they believe that a command of
English helps promote the econo-
mic development of the country.

He will find that the lessons
which Denmark can teach him can
be of more use to the Philippines,
which is a small country, than
any lessons which he could have
learned from Germany, England,
France, and other large and
wealthy countries ;

That the people of Denmark, in
spite of their being hardworking,
diligent and thrifty, are very fond
of pleasure and are called the Pa-
risiennes of the North;

And, finally, he will find that
the people are too contented to see
evil, too prosperous to hear evil,
and too cultured to speak evil.

There is no doubt now Uuit we
luive a smart man for hffft com-
missioner, and wind Is belter, a
scholar. The mo-
mentous q u e s '
tion of TMJSUb
ent Quezon UP-
S' ''BT’ X ~‘~oir hearing of

appointment
.. oonuii i s stones
was answtqfcd
once and for nii
by the oommis-
idoner's addre^
—— to the teachers in
Bagnio on democracy, his first in
the Philippines.

Some people might think ho
strained himself a bit to bring Pla-
to and Aristotle and Ferrero and
Charles Dickens to the witness
stand on the point of scholarship,
but It hod to be that way just to
Put things in their proper place
Mr. McNutt didn't miss the first
available opportunity to prove that
he could easily claim a doctorate
honoris causa anywhere.

Some sticklers might wish,
though, that he had brought In
Itteai or Mabini som -where, just
to tickle pride in the local protec-
tionist movement; also possibly G.
K. Chmterton, Hilaire Belloc, Jac-
ques Marifain or Berdyaev, for the
sake of the more pious but no less
powerful elements in our midst.
Det's hope he remembers them next
time lie climbs the mountain, pos-
sibly through the invitation of the
Rotary Club to one of its Thursday
| luncheons.

And now, to come to the sub-
stance of his address. It's clear
that Mr. McNutt still believes in
democracy, all reports of his cus-
tomary reliance on force to the
contrary notwithstanding, arid that
lie Js sure even school teachers
have something to do about it.
Again, tjjat democracy survives
where is has berm tried longest, as
in Anglo-Saxon nations, and its
life lm« b sen and is most precari-
ous where it still remains a sap-
| bug.

It Is such a sapling In the Philip,
pines, and the moral in this sltua-
; tion, we imagine, is that we, must
j take care of it lest 11 goes the way
of other saplings elsewhere. Now*

1 just why Mr. McNutt should warn
us indirectly this time, we do not
know exactly, unless it lie that in*
has been hearing all kinds of ru-
mours of tlie sort of government
our President bus been runninii
here.

And now .that wo are sure Mr
McNutt is a scholar and a believer
in democracy, it is our hope his
talk Is not the signal for all the
rest to protest about democracy
for the next six months. 0n e
scholarly talk on democracy anr »
ah the neighborhood will be
. plcious.

ILOILO, 21 de mayo.— El Presi-
dente Manuel L. Quezon, habiando
ante una inmensa multitud que
llenaba de bote en bote el audito-
rium del Colegio de San Agustin,
abogo vigorosamente por la apro-
bacion de la enmienda de la Cons-
tituciori, principalmente, que dispo-
ne la recreacion del Senado, con
los senadores elegidos por todo el
pais, despues de enumerar las
otras enmiendas, que seran todas
sometidas al pueblo en el plebisci-
te de 18 de junio proximo.

Citando vividos ejemplos de los
peligros que acarrea para el pais
el sistema unicameral, incluyendo
la mencion de la pasada revolucion
espanola, el Presidente Quezon di-
jo que estaba mas interesado en
la aprobacion de la enmienda cons-
titucionar que trata de recrear el
senado, porque lo requiere ei inte-
res de la nacion entera. Dijo que
es tan importante esta enmienda
para el futuro del pais, la seguri-
dad y estabilidad de las institucio-
nes filipinas y la proteccion de
nuestros derechos y de nuestra
propiedad, que su aprobacion es de
interes vital para todos los filipi-

cameral ha resultado un fracaso.

"Nuestra Asamblea Nacional ha
realizado una excelente labor, un
bien hasta ahora, pero nadie pue-
de asegurar lo que pasara en el >
futuro. Por eso pido al pueblo 1

Despues de pasar revista, inme-
diatamente tras el desembarco, a

Help the Private Universities

^RESIDENT Quezon- cannot disapprove the cabinet re-
I solution giving government officials, who are on the
faculties of private colleges and universities, one year’s
teaching grace without creating the impression that the
government is willfully refusing to give due encourage-
ment to these Institutions.

The question of whether or not to allow government
Officials to undertake outside work, especially teaching,
has always been an issue before the cabinet. Sometime
ago, a compromise was reached under which such offi-
cials might teach not more than six hours a week. Sub-
sequently, however, the cabinet revoked the compromise
i in another resolution which provided that all officials
teaching in private schools must resign their outside po-
sitions by June, 1937.

Last Wednesday’s decision of the cabinet to extend
the period of grace to June, 1938, was the result of a peti-
tion to this effect by the private schools. The decision,
however, is subject to the President’s approval. We are
certain that the President will readily see not only the
essential fairness of acceding to the petition but also the
urgent necessity of encouraging private colleges and uni-
versities.

t

Education is one of the country’s great problems.
Its cost is enormous, and the demand for further expan-
sion is insistent. Eventually, the government will be
forced to decide on a policy of devoting practically all
its educational, funds to the lower schools, leaving pri-
vate enterprise to fill the larger part of the country’s
need for higher education. If this is the case, then it
behooves the government to welcome rather than spurn
the private colleges’ preferred cooperation.

The services of government experts and technicians
are just as essential to the private colleges as to the state
university. But, in a tangible way, the teaching activ-
ities of the proper government officials are also beneft-
r ial to the government. Teaching is a profession that
demands growth on the part of the teacher. By teach-
in? the bureaucrat, instead of falling into the rut of
Governmental routine and red tape, is constantly im-
himself for the benefit of both his students and
ST government.

SCHOOLS PRAISE

LIFTING OF BAN

Cabinet Recommends Another
Year For Re^jnstmentt ->

Officials of private acboolt.- aHtf !
colleges were unanimous in prais-
ing last Wednesday’s action of tho
cabinet in recommending to Pres*
ident Quezon an extension of tho;
permission given government of*'
flcials to teach in private instltu*
tion* to June 1938.

Their comment on the matter
was commendatory and hopeful*
They pointed out that their insti-
tutions, for the present, need tho
cooperation of public officials. At
the same time they expressed the
hope that President Quezon will
find it possible to approve the ac-
tion of the cabinet.

Vice-President 'Sergio Osmfena,
secretary of public instruction*
submitted the matter to the ca-
binet at its meeting last Wednes-
day. The private schools had
previously submitted a petition to
stop the effcctivity of the order
to effect readjustment in tho

i

/ faculties of the different schools,
colleges and universities.

It was recalled that tho ban
was issued upon the initiative of .
the President himself. The private
school officials told the govern-

ment that their efficiency will be
greatly affected if not enough 1
time is given for readjustment.

Presldent

From Paris last w r eek, President
Manuel L. Quezon and bis family
journeyed to the famous shrine of
Lourdes. In the small French vil-
lage, one of the % chief centers of Cath-
olic devotion in the world, the Que-
zons climbed the niche above one of
the caves in the Iiautes Pyrenees,
where the Blessed Virgin is said to
have appeared in 1859 to a 14-year-
old girl named Bernardette Soubir-
ous, recently canonized by the Church.

Back in Paris last Tuesday, Pres-
ident Quezon sailed next day from
Cherbourg aboard the British rival to
the French luxury liner he had taken
on the way over, the Queen Mary.
The commonwealth executive lias aban-
doned his plan to study European te-
nant problems and cooperatives, to get
to work faster with the trade com-
mittee in Washington.

OFFICIALS HOLD

Commonwealth Not Noti-
fied, Cabinet Drops
Consular Case

By United Press
WASHINGTON May 21 . —Offi-
cial sources today said U,S. High
Commissioner Paul- V. McNutt
acted, within his authority in cir-
cularizing Manila consuls regard-
ing precedence • whenever official
toasts are offered *

President Roosevelt told news-
papermen he hard not heard of
the letter and declined to com-
ment. ‘ * , * , r -

State department officials re-
frained from, making a direct com-,
ment, but pointed out McNutt
might have been trying -to ^estab-
lish a uniform procedure among
consuls, most of whom ar$ mer-
chants serving in that capacity
instead of professional diplomats.

Philippine officials in Washing*
ton made no comment on the
matter, pending President Manuel
Quezon’s arrival May 24.

The state department added U.

S. High Commissioner had acted
on his own initiative without re-
ceiving instructions from Washing?*
ton. -

McNutt’s letter -o Manila con-
suls called attention to the pro*
per procedure in making official
toasts. He said a toast to Pre-
sident Roosevelt should come first.
Commissioner McNutt second* and
President Quezon third.

BERXJN, May 21. — Th# German

question of how Philippine inde>
pendence affect the status and
customs of foreign consuls in Hi.

political.

Worried able minerals in
any country would be a matter of
congratulation and delight to the
government of that country. But
there is reason to think that the
new Philippine llcpublie, now cut-

attaching it to the United States,
is not to happy over its sudden
discovery of untold mineral wealth.

President Quezon wants complete
independence of the United States

vears earlier than arranged m the
Independence Act. But he also
wants to maintain a close wooing

country by tariff and business con-

which is to give this country a
substantial stake in the safety and
defense of Philippine independence.

It might be worth it, at that.

der.t, that no communication re-

cabinet dropped the matter entue-

the brief discussion that took
place however, the opinion was
expressed and supported that the
American High Commissioner has
every right to determine the re-

consulates. Conversely, local
consuls or consular agents are free
to determine their own relation-
ship with the office of the Amer-
ican High Commissioner.

Regarding statements attributed
to him yesterday in The Heral ,
Professor Bernabe Africa has
written the following letter:

"in the issue of your paper of

Reassuring Business

HPHE address delivered before the Manila Rotary Club

A

this noon, while specially intended to reassure the

business elements .of the country, should exert a similar
Influence on all other groups which might have felt un-
duly alarmed by the continuing negotiations in Wash-
ington to advance the date of independence. Business, .
as it is pointed out in the speech, is extremely sensitive
to changes or proposals for changes In the status quo.
If, therefore, business has no reason to feel uneasy or
insecure, it follows that other groups not so precariously
situated should have greater reason to feel reassured.

The speaker was present in all the important pre-
liminary conversations which preceded the announce-
ment of the Quezon proposal. In view of the confiden-
tial nature of those conversations, it may be surmised
that he knows considerably more than he has allowed
himself the liberty to divulge in the text of his address.
The optimism which characterizes the entire address is
the logical result, therefore, not only of the facts ad-
duced but of the other circumstances which it would not
have been prudent to disclose.

We desire to call attention to certain facts which
are definitely established in the speech. These are.
first, that the plan had matured in the mind- of -President
Quezon long before he left the Philippines; second, that
the President was not precipitate in advancing his plan
and in seeking action on it, but was oh the contrary
most deliberate and sober; third, that the composition
of the Filipino committee of experts is such as to war-
rant the belief that all the questions involved in any
program of accelerated independence shall be studied
with a statesmanlike, regard for the welfare of both
Filipinos and Americans; fourth, that the text of the
Quezon-Sayre statement and subsequent statements of
President Quezon clearly indicate that a commercial
agreement will, be a condition precedent to the launcb-
irTp of such a program; and fifth, that President Quezon
cannot now afford to close his political career with a
blunder- that will earn him the eternal damnation of his.
people. '

soon, the negotiations on the Quezon proposal, foL-
in-wiug the submission of a report by the Sayre-Tulo •
1 nmnuttee of experts, will be resumed. With these facts
c ns tantly before us, we can look upon future develop-
ments with a confidence born of an adequate knowledge
^ t,iie facts, pertinent to the case.

New York, Mayo 28. — Dinapunn
ng bahagyang sipon, ang pangulong
Manuel L. Queon ng commonwealth
ng Pilipinas ay nanatiii ngayon sa
silid ng kanyang otel na tinutulu-
yan dito. Ang lagay ng panaliou
sa labas ay malamig at mauiap.

Ang komandante heneral Basilio .
Valdes, pangalawang puno ng es
tado mayor ng hukbong pilipino,
ay nagpahayag na “hindi nababatid
ng pangulong Quezon kung* hang-
gang kaiian sila mamamalagi sa
New York o ‘kung magtutugrio siya
sa iVasli ngton”.

Sapul nang stya’y. dumating dito'
buhat sa paglalakbay sa Europa,
ang .pangulong Quezon ay naratay
na sa kanyang otel dahil sa kapin-
salaan sa mata. Sinabing pinutol;
niya ang paglalakoay sa Europa da [
hii sa hindi nuibuti ang kanyang la-
gav.

g£p sa mga lipunan ng mga mang-
babatds.

Sinabi ng kinatawnng Juan Lu-
na ng Mindoro na “iva’y mabuti,
may malawak na kahi^ugan at ka-
rapatdapat sa pagaaral".

Naging sanhi apad ng mga usap-
usapan dito ang bohaging nauukol
sa i\ri ng unawaan sa kalakalan nr*
Pilipinas at Estados Unidos sa
isang panahong may takda.

Sa pagsasalita ukol diy^n t sinabi
ng kinatawan ng Mindoro na sa-
ssng-ayunan niya ang pagpapatu-
loy ng kasalukuyang ko^unduan

Ipinahayag niyang lalong kapaki-
pakinabang sa Pilipinas* ang km;un-
du^ng iyan samantalang nanajia-
til pa rito ang kapangyarihan ng

Pogkatapos na mataino ng Pili-
pinas ang ganap na pagsasorili,

incidents here caused by two cir-
cular letters of High Commissioner
McNutt to foreign consuls, and
suggested that the President take
up the controversial provisions of
the independence law with the
state department ^for clarification
and interpretation* to avoid future
controversy between Malacahan
and the High Commissioner’s of-
fice.

It was recalled ill political cir-
cles yesterday that harmonious re-
lation existed between President
Quezon and Governor Murphy dur-
ing the latter’s stay here as high
commissioner. It was primarily due
to the latter, it is believed, that
Washington officials formed a joint
committee of American and Fili-
pino experts to make a thorough
study of conditions in connection
with the proposed correction of
, all inequalities in the independence f

law. .

The statement of High Commis-
sioner Paul V. McNutt that h?*
did not wish to engage in any
controversy, was regarded as a
confirmation of the statement of
Governor Murphy made at Detroit
recently to the effect that the pre-
sent high commissioner will “get
along well” in the Philippines.

CAVITE SAKDALS

Peace Loving Men,’ Says Head
Of Organization

Special to the TRIBUNE

Cavite, Cavite, June 2. — Fernan-
do Manuson, president of the Ca-
vite Sakdals, today branded as un-
founded the rumor that th e Sak-
dals are again on the “warpath.”
Such rumor is the work of their
enemies, he said.

Manuson deplores the fact that !
(some people always entertain the
idea that the Sakdals want to over- j
throw the government and are op- ,
posed to Pres. Quezon’s administra-
tion. The Sakdals, he said, have
no quarrel with Pres. Quezon, much
less with the government, so long
as the labor for immediate, com-
plete, and absolute independence is
carried on. The abandonment of
that policy, Manuson added, would
be the parting of ways so far as
their organization is concerned.

The Sakdals, according to Manu-
son, ar e opposed to means other
than diplomacy in obtaining in
dependence. Asked if they are
getting the help of other nations,
in their fight for independence, the
Cavite Sakdal president emphatic-
ally answered in the negative.

The Sakdal supremo, Benigno
Ramos, is in Tokyo and is receiv-
ing from Sakdal members in the
Philippines monthly voluntary con- t
tributions ranging from P100 to
P150, Manuson revealed. Ramos,
he said, will only return to. the
Islands in case of complete inde-
pendence. Ramos is not afraid to
“face the music” at the propitious
time for a showdown, Manuson,
added.

Cavi’te province has around 9000
Sakdals 600, of whom live in the
capital, he said.

Manuson criticizes local officials
for not playing fair with the Sak-
dals, claiming that while the gov-
ernment gives permission to others
to hold public meetings it refuses
to extend them the same privilege.

huelga asegurando tambien que no habia tal huelga,
sino unos cuantos centenares de obreros obligados por
ziertos terroristas a dejar el trabajo y que, como tenian
buenos depositos en el banco, no necesitaban de la ayu-
da de nadle. El objeto era suspender las wcorros desde
Filipinas y sitiar por hambre a los huelguistas.

Pero la verdad acaba siempre por triunfar. Si los

NAT’L DEFENSE
PLAN DEFENDED

Poindexter, Quezon Urge
Filipino Workers To
Resume Work

HONOLULU, Julie 1 (AP). —
Hawaii's governor, Joseph B. Poin-
dexter, and the Federal Labor De-
partment today began efforts to
settle the strike of more than 1,000
Filipino workers at the Puunene
sugar plantation on Maui island.
The strike now is in its eighth
week.

Bitterly criticized abroad, and, to
a much less extent, in the Philip-
pines, President Quezon's national
defense program was recently
defended by Dr. Mariano D. Gana,
professor of economics in the U.P.
college of business administration.

National defense expenses, said -

the professor, is not a burden to

the Commonwealth viewed in pro-

portion to the total government ex-
penditures.

{ Professor Gana indicated that
the Philippine Army spends only
17 per cent of the total government
appropriations, a very low per-
centage compared with those of
other countries, such as France,
2 2.3 per cent; Japan, 43.7 per cent;
Italy, 20.8; and the United States,,
17.9 according to the 1934 budget,

’Governor Poindexter,' at the re-

President Quezon, who is in Now

strikers to return to work and ap-
pealed to botji sides for a speedy

et t lemunt-oi the controversy, which

involves demands of the men for

increased pay.

President Quezon, in a telegram
from New York, suggested that the
strikers go back to their jobs and
added “if there arc matters to be
adjusted this should ho done by
amicable discussions."

Governor Poindexter said that the
management of the* sugar planta-
tion assured him company represen-

striking workers and discuss their
grievances.

Pre^i.- 3 lit Manuel L. Quezon,
When a. vded the deg-ree of doc-

ington University on April 17, was
cited for being the “tireless pro
pojrent of his. people’s aspirations
for independence/’ according ta
the citation, a copy of which has
been received at Malacahan.

The citation reads in full aa
follows:

The. president and directors of
Georgetown College, to all unto
whom these letters patent shall
come greetings in the Lord

On this day which, commemorates
her founding Georgetown Univer-
sity puts her seal of approval and,
honor upon one who voices and/
strives to actuate her ideals of
service to God, to country and to
fellow man. F.or years a tireless
proponent of his people’s aspira-
tions for independence, Manuel Luis ;
Quezon, as First President of the
Commonwealth of the Philippines,
has shewn in word and unsparing
self-sacrifice a noble ambition to
build a traditionally Christian peo-
ple into a nation unshakably sup-
ported by the strong girders of So-
cial Justice and securely founded
on the only bed rock of peaceful
perpetuity, the law of -Christ, and
thus to present to nations of /the
world an excellent and imitable mo-
del of a happy and prosperous mp-
dern state.

Wherefore, in virtue of the po- ;
wer delegated to us by the con- j
gress of the United States, we
create and proclaim

MANUEL LUIS QUEZON
Doctor of Laws

And that all the rights and pri-
vileges attaching to this degree be
preserved unto him we have issued
these letters patent from our own
hand, sealed with the Great Seal
of the university on this seven-
teenth day of April in the year of ,
our Lord One Thousand Nine Hun
died and Thirty-Seven.

Arthur A. O’Leary, S. J.

President

In a brief speech, of response,
President Quezon said that the ho-
nor wa3 not so much as the mea-
sure of the university’s appraisal*
of h;s worth as an .individual and j
a public ‘servant but rather as an j
evidence of its conviction that the !
cause in the service of which he I
has devoted Iks life is a just and :
a noble one.

m Subsection 2 , Section 12 of Article VII of the
Constitution.

+1 qp®stion has been raised as to whe-

lei the Constitution, in prohibiting outside acti-
vities for government officials, refers only to gov-

ernmpnt romWc. .. , J

eminent workers specifically mentioned;, a ques-
tion which, - ” ^

. . . . ln fact > questions the validity of the

inclusive instead of selective scope of the Pres-
ident’s executive order.

lake it that the intention of the framers
oi the Constitution is to promote efficiency in the
government service and this they sought to ac-
complish by banning such activities on the part
of employees in the government payroll as will
interfere with their efficiency or conflict with the
intents of the government.

We prefer to believe that President Quezon’s
executive order lias been based on such an inter-
pretation as this. It is the only interpretation, in
fact, which embodies the most justice both to the
government and to government employees.

To interpret that justices of the supreme court
and government functionaries other than “heads
of departments and chiefs of bureaus or offices
and their assistants” are not within the scope of
the constitutional prohibition in question is to des-
troy the very spirit behind the promulgation of
this provision of the national Charter.

If teaching in private schools and other out-
side pecuniary activities on the part of “heads of
donartments and chiefs of bureaus or offices and
their assistants” can be to the detriment of the
best interests of government, by what reasoning
can if. be nroved that others in the government
employ may engage in outside pecuniary work
without injury to government welfare?

The Constitution must be given more reve-
rence than is being shown at present. Respect
for the Constitution must be fostered by strict ad-
herence to the spirit behind it. Otherwise, as
the saying goes, we lose the point.

Quezon Baro s Negotiations
With Goodyear Interests
In U. S.

President H atmel L .
yesterday announced that negotia-
tions are now in progress with
• the Goodyear rubber interests in
the United States with a view to
an early development of the rub-
ber industry in Mindanao.

The government of the Common-
wealth, the President revealed,, is
negotiating with the Goodyear in-
terests principally for technical
aid in creating and developing the
industry. The American firm, he
said, is willing to provide aid in
the form of technical men, seed
and the like.

‘The Goodyear people/' said Mr.
Quezon, -“have indicated that they
are interested in an important
source of raw matevial in a terri-
tory where they can be assured
of a fair deal and of unobstruct-
ed entjy.’V

If no corporation will be found ;
to undertake the initial work of
developing the industry, the Fre- I
sident said,, the government is)
prepared to pioneer by opening a
single lafge area, with the culti-
vation to be done by small home- j
steaders.

Mr. Quezon declared that there i
will be no change in the land laws i
Which restrict a corporation to the !
ownership of 1,024 hectares of j
public land.

* “The Firestone people,” he re-
called, “held - that rubber cultiva-
tion was impossible with a. system
of small holdings. We demon-
strated that they were wrong in
the case of sugar. The proposal
for large plantations in connection
with the sugar centrals was ade-

‘The rubber industry can deve-

composed of small holdings. In

ippine support.

Their contemptuous attitude to-
ward the suggestions of Presiden t Que

zon and Commissioner Paredes for
~Them to return to work under a state
of truce until a plan of settlement can
be worked out through orderly proce-
dure can be explained only by their be-
ing ill-advised.

First of all, the strikers undoubted-
ly were given the impression that the
Philippine government could and
Would do more than is authorized. It
is a fair assumption that their leaders,
in desperation, overstepped bounds in
their promises. Also it is apparent
that the remote-control direction of the
strike from Manila was bungled.

Since the strikers treat with con-
tempt the efforts made by Philippine
officials to intercede for them along
lines within their authority, since they
apparently expect the impossible, it is
difficult to see where and how much
can be. done.

By their own attitude they have in-
jured their case.

Tolentino Says Power to Appoint Present Elective Officials

Justified by Law

sent elective incumbents in- the
provinces and municipalities, as
provided in Commonwealth act No.

, 199 postponing the election of lo-
cal officials until 1938, is not ar-
bitrary or dictatorial, according to
Assemblyman Miguel Tolentino of
Batangas. In a statement he is-
sued yesterday on this question,
he says in part as follow:

The . power of the President to

any ulterior motive behind the

"On November 18, 1936 the Na-
tional Assembly enacted a law now-
known as Commonwealth Act No.
199. This Act vests the President
of the Philippines with powers to
appoint the successors of the pre- :
sent incumbents in the provincial,
city and municipal governments.

"The object of this law is econo-
my and the attainment of a stable
government It is indeed a great
injustice done to the President of
the Philippines by anyone to har-
bor any wrongful idea that there

enactment of the said law. There
is absolutely nothing in the new
law that vests the President of
the* Philippines with any power
which is arbitrary and tyrannical,
tending to defeat the real and true
expression of the will of the peo-
ple.

"That the President of the Phil-
ippines can appoint the successors
of the present incumbents in the
provincial, city and municipal gov-
ernments, does not necessarily
mean the use of dictatorial and
arbitrary power. First, because the
President can do so only with the
consent of the Committee on Ap-
pointments of the National Assem-
bly; and second, because the peo-
ple could still petition that they
be heard on the appointments of
the officials concerned.

"If the people voluntarily ab-
stain from being duly heard on the
selection of the said officials, then

j ence if the President should un-
wittingly appoint men who would
| challenge the dictates of their will.
It. is within their constitutional
right to petition either to have the
present incumbents remain in their
posts or have them replaced by
others fpr just cau •?.

"The will of the people can well
be expressed by an> of the follow-
ing manners:

Permanent Retention A Dead Issue

T HE statement made the other day by Mr. Axnando
Avancena and Dr. Jose Mirasol, both cf the Con-
federation of Sugar Planters, advocating that the com-
monwealth status of the Philippines be made permanent
requires no comment more startling than the simple af-
firmation that permanent retention, in any form what-
ever, as a political issue was dead and buried with the
appropriate rites about thirty years ago.

The persistence of the retentionist hope among spe-
cial groups in the Philippines can only be attributed to
the extraordinary vitality of certainly ideas. It does
not, however, necessarily prove their validity. As e.;]
has often a fascination that contributes, to its luxuriant ,
growth, even so certain ideas, not necessarily evil, thi ive
like perennial weeds resistant to every change of wea-
ther. fl-t

While it is the privilege of every citizen to voice his
opinion on public questions, it is needful to remember
that there are certain occasions when a discreet respect
for the will of the people already expressed beyond
doubt or cavil is demanded of every reasonable man.
The people of this- country have expressed their desire
to be independent. Preside nt Q uezon is in the United
States today engaged" in the difficult task of obtaining
the final grant of that independence under terms that
will best ensure our economic stability and social peace.

It would seem that a decent respect for the people’s
will should alone suffice to prevent anybody from rock-
ing the boat at this time. Nor can any attempt to dis-
inter the bones of a dead issue have any value beyond
that of a purely archeological enterprise.

What all such efforts will amount to in the end
is to provide ammunition for the enemies of the Filipmo
people, and to further confuse Washington regarding our
desire to be free. Although it has since been explained
that the Avancena-Mirafior statement does not express
the stand of the Confederation, we may well believe that
> the coments of that statement have already been trans-
mitted to the United States. It is easy to see that its
release in Washington at this time will cause consider-
able embarrassment to President Quezon and to the Fili-
pino members of the committee of experts.

Let us have freedom of speech, yes; but let us be

dered satisfactory services to the
j Philippine CX umonwaMth, there
remains noth .g for the citizens
to do. If 'they kefcp silent and
abstain from petitioning the Pres-
ident for their removal, the incum-
bents will automatically continue in
their present positions, unless they
have committed dereliction of duty
which would warrant their desti-
tution.

"SECOND. — If , the present, in-
cumbents are not worthy of their
positions, then there exists a grave
problem.

"In the solution of this problem
is where the true responsibility
and civic duty cf the public-spirit-
ed citizens would meet with . the
supreme test. If our provincial,
city and municipal officials do not
render satisfactory services to the"
country, then It is the duty of. the
civic-minded ' Citizens to present a
petition to the President of the
Philippines, for their removal. The
grounds of tha petition should tye
specifically stated therein, upon
which the President could properly
base his action to dismiss the .pre-
sent incumbents and replace them
with responsible persons worthy
of the trust.

"The petition should be submitted
to the President of the Philippines,
through the Secretary of the Inter-
ior and the Assemblyman conc^nv
ed, in order that they ms.y be. .able
to make the necessary' comments
and recommendation.

"The continuance in office od?
those officials whose only aim is
self-aggrandizement and personal
interest and do not respond to the
call of duty, will mean the hind-
rance to the growth of our stable
government. They are a complete
failure. And we can not build a
nation with men who failed tc live

They are a complete failure. And
we can not build a nation witty

any place in our Commonwealth.
They are not only an unnecessary
! burden, but also constitute a real
' disgrace to the country.

pmas, iojL lVIanue'-. L. Quezon, desde Washington,
a la i esolucion oel gabinete permitienclo a los fun*
cionai ios cIgI gobioi no a 6ns6nar on los CGntros do*
rentes privados, varies de los afectados hah presen
tado sus respectivas dimisiones. El fiscal de la tin-
dad de Manila, Sr. Gervasio Diaz, ha declarado que
se dedieara al magisterio y al ejercicio privado de la
abogacia. Los dimitentes dicen que no creen que el
gobierno tenga derecho de controlar sus actividades
personates despues de las horas de oficina.

\ paiece que tienen razon. Nadie podra soste
ner una discusion en contra de este razonamiento.
El gobierno paga a sus empleados por el serviciq quel
da trabajando durante las horas reglamentarias.
Pero el veto del presidents Quezon se basa en el Ti- '
tulo VII, Articulo 12, Ineiso (2) de la Constitution, '
que claramente dice: ‘‘Los jefes de departamentos,
buros u oficmas, y sus auxiliares no se dedicaran,
durante el desempeho de sus : cargos, al ejercicio de
ninguna profesion, ni interyendran, directa o indi-
rectamente, en la administration o control de cual- 1
quiera empres a privada que de algun modo pudiera !
qtiedar afectad a por las funciones de sus cargos, ni
tampoco podraii tener interes financiers, directa o i
ind irectaraente, en algun contra to con el Gobierno 1
o cualquier a subdivision o depenclencia del mismo.”
Ademas, en estos tiempos de desempleo, ^.no se
ria muy humano, acaso, que los que ya gozan de hue-
nos puestos en el - gobierno, se contenten con lo que
tienen y no busquen otros puestos que podrian ser .
ccupados por sus projimo- ? A menos que los funcio. j
narios afectaclos crean que ellos son insustituibles en j
sus catedras en las universidades privadas, no deben ’
poner mucho empeno en continual* ocupandolos, :
hasta el punto de infringir deliberadamente una pro.
vision de la, Constitution Filipina.

^ Se abriga el temor de que se repetira io que aca
ba de pasar en el caso de los empleados del gobierno
que, atraidos por el negocio de las minas, dejaron
pi ecipitadamente sus buencs empleos. El 99 por cien,
to de ellos estan ahora muy arrepentidos.

These government employees, who have per-

cannot be condemned as exhibitionists and unpa-

be classified among the cases of “resignation-on-

It is true that there have been government of-

money. But it is an entirely different thing' when
government men, oldtimers at that, finally are
forced to get out in order to make ends meet a

Officials However Admit President Quezon IMs
cussed Early Independence With U. S.
Chief Executive

v-» ’’ CBi/ Rn:c:cr)

VYasmngton June 11.—' The statement made bv
Assemblyman Felipe Euencamino in Manila that it
virtually assured the Philippines would be granted com
plete independence oh July A, 1939 instead of in 19 A 5
is not confirmed here.

Officials point out, however, that it is no secret
that President Quezon met President Roosevelt and
discussed the questioTTr"’

The possibility of a trade agree-
ment between the Philippines and
the United States covering a pc- j
riod of 15 years was last night dis- ^
closed by Assemblyman Felipe
Euencamino at a banquet given in
his honor. Hq also staged that con-
gress is at present inclined to Phil-

; itliat the only solution to end

than

1 ippine independence not later
| July 4. 193 9.

President Quezon’s proposal for
early independence lias been offer-
ed in all seriousness and has been
motivated by frequent violations of
the Tydings-McDuffie lav/ ‘on the
part of the U. S. congress, Buenca-
mino said.

About. 40 ..members of the national
assembly, besides judges of the
court of appeals, cabinet members,
bureau directors and assistant di-
rectors, city officials including
councilors, the chief of police and
the chief of the secret service bur-
eau, attended the banquet at the
Tiro al Blanco.

•Assemblyman Jose Zulueta, the
host, explained that the affair was
offered not. only to welcome the
guest of honor but also to enable
those present to hear from him an
unofficial report of the Philippine
situation abroad.

v-gistcrod about “one* month af-
.fer.; b^ik^v • la\V ' ' was formally ac-
id by the former Philippine. Le-
"'Sifcur c, that he thought— and he
firmly convinced —

Aatbr became

the

•anomalous situation was early inde-
pendence,” Buencamino declared in
his extemporaneous remarks. •
“The President’s plan”, he went
on, “is to secure a trade agreement,
if and when independence is grant-
ed, an agreement which is more
binding than the Tydings-McDuffie
law, Y/hich cannot be altered or
amended except by the mutual con-
sent of both and "Which will run to
a period of 15 years.’

Buencamino declared that Pres-
ident Quezon’s proposal and his po-
1 sition in the United States in favor
of it, have been bolstered by the
outcome of the recent London sugar
conference, which he attended as a
Philippine delegate in the American
delegation headed by Norman Da-
vis.

Under the agreement adopted at
the conference, Buencamino repeat-
ed that he had said in previous
press statements to the effect that
! even if independence were granted

Several assemblymen present in-
dicated that in view of- the public
character of the gathering they
could not ask Buencamino certain
questions which they desired clar-
ified. For this reason they plan
holding a private gathering where
omv .assemblymen, and perhaps a
iew pi ess -representatives, will be
invited. They declared they need
certain information from Buenca-
mmo, which can be secured only at
a private meeting
Speaking of the ‘early independ-
ence proposal, Buencamino explain-
ed that it was first' propounded by’
the president to, Mrs. Quezon and
Secretory of Justice Yulo, ho being

the Philippines,, the other nations
which are signatory to that agree-
ment will waive the most favored
nation clause in favor of the Is-
lands. Thus if Philippine sugar
were admitted duty free to the Unit-
ed States after independence is
granted, the other nations will not
claim the same right, although they j
mirrht be entitled to the same treat- 1
ment.

LA COMPRA DE

Autoriza al Secret ario Alas

El Presidents de Filipinos, Ma-
HUfiLJL Quezon, ..ha autorizado al
Secretario de Hacienda, Antonio de
las Alas, para que inicie las nego-
ciaciones necesarias a fin de refor-
zar la flota de guardacostas del
gobierno con otras dos unidades

Con esta autorizacion el Sccre;
tario de Hacienda ya. ha enviac^o

do in formes score barcos que pue*
den ser utilizados para cl serv.xio
• > patrulla en las costas de Fili-
pinas.

La Oficina de Aduanas lm recal-
cado la necesidad de poder contar
con mayor servlcio de ‘ guardacos-
tas en las islas en .vista de los fre - 1
cuentes informes que se reciben de
provincia que hablan de continuas
filtraciones de contrabando de dro-
gas y de inmigrantes. El actual
serviclo de guardacostas se cree
inadecuado para abarcar toda la
situacidn y mantener una continua
natrulla en las aguas de las islas.
Ei Administrador de Aduanas pu-
?o a conocimiento del secretario de
hacienda esta situacion, el cual a
su vez endoso el asunto al Piesi*
dente Quezon.

Los dos nuevos barcos que seran
adquiridos por el gobierno se pro-

Aunque hay infonr.es de que va-
rious escuelas y colegios recibiran un
fuei’te golpe como jrf.iado de las
action del Presidente Quezon al*
desaprebar la resolution del gabi-
nete que permite a luncionarios del
gobierno ensenar por un perfodo
de un ano m&s, la Far Eastern Uni-
versity no quedara muy afectada,
segim ha indicado hoy la geren-

Por el contrario, todos los pla-
nes de expansion y mejoramiento
en la Universidad se estan llevando
a cabo con gran exito. El edificio
para mujeres que est& situado en
el campo del Norte y que dara ca-
bida a la high school para mujeres
esta por terminar. Se abrira co-
mo se habia anunciado el nuevo
curso de aeron&utica.

La Universidad, previendo ya la
prohibition de que funcionarios del
gobierno puedan al mismo tiempo
ciedicaxse a la ensehanza, ha hecho
ya sus. arreglos para hacer frente
a la situation, por ejemplo, hace
varios meses sustituyo al Juez Ma-
riano Albert como decano del ins-
titute de abogatia por el decano
Leoncio B. Monson. otros profeso-

centros legislatives del gobierno de,
que cualquier plan de expansion del
programa economico , de la manco-
munidad que necesita del desenbol-
so de millones de pesos se encuen-
tre C 9 n la oposicion del Alto Comi-
sionado de los Esfados Unido.q^
Filipinas, cl cual en 'sus declara-
ciones hechas ayer manifesto que,
su principal objetivo es mantener
el credito de Filipinas.

El Comisionado McNutt hablo
muy brevemente de este asunto y ’
ha rehusado hablar mas cspecifi-
camente de su politica diciendo
que el programa de industrializa-
cion es un asunto que afecta ex-
clusivamente al gobierno de la“ :
Mancomunidad.

El Presidente Manuel L». Quezon
ha sido frecuentementc criticado
por grupos de la minoria por su
alegado fracaso en esbozar un pro-
grama economico, que en opinion
de los oposicionistas es la base de
la independence politica del pais
y la completa separation de Filipi-
nas con los Sstados Unidos.

El presidente personalmente, en
varias ocasione3, sogun informes
particulars recibidos aqui, ha re-
velado <a algunos miqmbros de su

ENDORSEMENT OF
COALITION SEEN

Opposition To Proposal Fast
Dying Oat; “Recalcitrants”
Being Won Over

With the former strong opposi-
tion to the coalition plan fas^ dy*
te* ou \l and the pro-coalitioo
{movement gaining ^momentum
daily since the return of Senate
President Quezon, the forma! en-
dorsement of the proposal at tho
.coming national conventions of
lifae two major political parties
next Sunday is believed almost a
certainty.

The decision reached by the mi-
nority leaders to hold their con-
vention simultaneously with* that
of ithe majority Is an unfailing in-
dication which *vay the wind
blows, i t was observed in local po-
litical circles today. Keen observ-
ers deduct from thii*, decision of
tho minority the fact that assur-
ances have been made on bo»:h
.sid'es that ‘the coasliitoni nvitl o*
accepted.

Senator Jose Avelino. one of
the strongest opponents of the
aoalition plan, today sliated that
there is a creator probability of
tho coalition being approved at
! c the majority convention than
otherwise. Represon»catlve Tomas
Oppus, also formerly a critio ot
the movement, went as far thte
morning as defending the coali*
1-ion at the caucus of majority re-
presentatives in lihe office of
Speaker Paredes ,

at was learned, however, that
several members of the legislature
are planning to assail tho coalU-
Icxn during* the majority conven-
tion. Nevertheless, it is believed
that this opposition will no t pros-
per, especially in the face of ro
peated statements on the part of
Senate President Quezon v that he
is for the, coalition.

Jose A. Clarin in Bohol, it was revealed at the legislature this i

the dead senator to Bohol on the s. s. Bohol on June 19

President Quezon’s Visayan tour,
which will take him to the Negros
provinces, and other centers of
anti-coalitionist sentiment in the
south, is taken as a strategic move
to win the opponents of the plan.
The itinerary of the president is j
now under preparation.

It was indicated from reliable
sources that Senator Osmeha who
is scheduled to run for vice-presid-
ent in the coalition ticket, and
Rep. Manuel Roxas, another minor-
ity leader, may accompany Presid-
ent Quezon in the tour. It is be-
lieved apparent from these indiea-'
tions that ths purpose of the tour
is to cinch the coalition in the Vi- '
sayas and to launch a smashing
drive for the support of the Que-
zon-Osmena ticket in the south"

Both Chambers Expected
To Approve Project-
ed Bill Quickly

Tli e legislature today is scheduled
to approve hrSTTf^ advancing tlie date
of the -regular session from July 16
to next Monday, June 24.

Tliis plan, contemplates a. con-
tinuous session of the present legis-
lature, adjourning tlie present spe-
cial session sine die by the week
end and proceeding immediately
with the regular session by Monday.

Before adjourning the .special
session, however, the legislative
lenders regard it important to pass
the election bill which is one of the
most important measures scheduled
for action. The reason for the haste
is due to the time element involved
in the naming of election personnel
and the taking of steps necessary
to prepare the election machinery.

Senate Expects Bill Today

The senate is expected to receive
the bill advancing the date of . the
regular sessions this morning and
act on it immediately. The house
will take up the measure in the af-
ternoon and concur with the senate ? s
action.

The bill on advancing the date
of the regular session is the second
of two bills which the extraordinary
meeting approves.

The proposition to fuse ’ the • spe-
cial with the regular session is
aimed at saving transportation ex-
penses of legislators in returning to
their homes and coining back for
the sessions. Tt is likewise feared
that if the regular session is to take
Mace on July 16 not many of the
legislators could come for the 'ses-
sions as they would be too busy
campaigning for the national elec-
tions next September.

Unless President Quezon rules other-

canceled. Acting Secretary of Jus-
tice Jose P. Melencio has rendered
an opinion to* the effect that “the
claims having been registered on a
subterfuge and being in reality non-
existent, the erroneous and inadver-
tent registration thereof was void from
the very beginning, and conferred no
rights. Cancelation of the entries is
the logical step to take. r

Cornerstone Of tL? i.ufice

Will Noi Be Laid Until
Quezon Returns

Manila’s proposed imposing city
hall will have to wait for the
laying of its cornerstone until the
arrival here of President MonueJ
L, Quezon.

This was decided upon the other
day by Mayor Juan Posadas, Pres.
Manuel de la Fuente, of the mun-
icipal board, and other city offi-
cials. They have picked the
Philippine chief executive to per
form the cornerstone ceremonies,
and since President Quezon is now
in the United States and is not
expected in Manila, .until the early
part of July or the middle of
August, it was agreed to hold up
the event until that date.

The proposed city hall' will cost
approximately PI, 000, 000, « and

when competed, will be the most
imposing and beautiful of it:?
kind in this country. It will be
ejected on the present site of tho
dilapidated city hall.

w

ii

majority wanted tho change. The
resolution, which was unanimously
passed by the council, was went to

resident Quezon for his

approval.

nasangayunan ng takbo ng pang-

puestq por el Presidente, y es el
que ha recaido sobre el bill Nura.
3023,- que dispone el empleo de
aprendices o agregados en ciertos
buques registrados en Filipinas. .

El Presidente, en su mensaje a
la Asamblea Nacional, al desapro-
bar esta medida, explica que el es-
ta conforme con el fin de la mlsma
de extender las facilidades a los
graduados o cadctes de la Escue-
la Kautica de Filipinas u otras es-
cuelas nauticas reconocidas por el
gobierno, para que pucdan adqui-
rir los necesarios conocimientos
practices en la navegacion, pero

que ha tenido que vetar # ei proyec-
to debido a ciertas disposiciones
contraproducentes: Cita . P o r
ejemplo, el hecho de que bajo las
dlsposiciones de la medida, que ex-
tiend^ a los buques de 100 toneia-
das gruesas, el requirimento de
tener no menos de un agregado. o
aprendiz, Bajo la ley actual, .los
buques menore3 de 250 toneladas,
podrian ser guiados por un primer
oficial o un patron superior que
podria ser el capitan del barco. El
Presidente dice que los graduados
o estudiantes de la Escuela ivauti-
ca deben recibir aprendizaje prac-
tico bajo un capitan de , marina,
para que su instruccion eea mas
elevada, y no bajo un patron.

El' Presidente sugiere que se
vuelv e a aprobar una ley seme jan-
t e en las proximas sesiones del ,

objeccionables descartadas.

reunir^, con su . senora en Paris.

Poco antes de partir, el seiior Que-
7io n declard que su visita a los Es-
tados Unidos ha sido % satisfactoria.
No quiso decir nada sobre su mi-

lin ng Pang-ulo sa ICalihim ng
Pagsasaka na nuwag munang
magpagawa ng mga matadero
hanggang walang pahintulot niya.

Ipinahiwatig ng Punong Taga-

promover por otra parte una me j ora notable en las recau-

Estos planes tan acertados deben acreditarse al Presi-

on June 14 a proclamation “with-
drawing from mineral exploration,
prospecting, occupation, location or
exploitation - and from sale or other
disposition and reserving for the ex-
clusive use of non-Christian portions
of the subprovince of Bontoc and*
Kalinga, Mt. Province.” The Secre-
tary of Agriculture and Commerce,

vasion of mining prospectors, recom-
mended the reservation of such lands
in order to end conflicts between the
Igorots and prospectors. Private
rights previously acquired will, how-
* be respected. The area involved
covers around 20,000 hectares.
